1. See! the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds His

chariot To His heavenly palace-gate; Hark! the choirs of angel voi-ces Joy-ful

hal-le. lu-jahs sing, And the portals high are lifted, To receive their heavenly King.

ASCENSION HYMN.

7.6. 10 lines.

HENRY SMART.

1. With all your floods at - tend - ing, Beat, seas, up- on the shore; Ye saints, more

lowly bend -ing, Ex - alt Him more and more; The Lord of lords as

cend-ing A-bove the star-ry floor! To Him the Name is

[blocks in formation]

which all knees shall bow, Of things in earth and heaven, And things the earth below.

2 He who for men their Surety stood,
And poured on earth His precious blood,
Pursues in heaven His mighty plan,
The Saviour and the Friend of man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a Brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.
4 In every pang that rends the heart,
The Man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes in our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.

5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known,
And ask the aid of heavenly power
To help us in the evil hour.

ANNE STEELE.

1 WHEN sins and fears prevailing rise,
And fainting hope almost expires,
Jesus, to Thee I lift mine eyes;
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires.
2 If my immortal Saviour lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His Word a firm foundation gives;
Here let me build, and rest secure.
3 Here let my faith unshaken dwell;
Immovable the promise stands;

Not all the powers of earth or hell
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands.

4 Here, O my soul, thy trust repose; If Jesus is forever mine,

Not death itself, that last of foes,
Shall break a union so divine.

H. J. GAUNTLETT.

1. Rise, glorious Conqueror, rise Into Thy native skies,-Assume Thy right; And where in

many a fold The clouds are backward roll'd, Pass thro' those gates of gold, And reign in light!

BROOKLYN. H. M.

1. Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and power That ever mortals 음:

64

knew, That angels ever bore; All are too mean to speak His worth,

ff:

Too mean to set the Saviour forth, Too mean to set the Saviour forth.

ALEXANDER PIRIE.

2 Below He washed our guilt away,
By His atoning blood;

Now He appears before the throne,
And pleads our cause with God.

3 Clothed with our nature still, He knows The weakness of our frame,

And how to shield us from the foes
Which He Himself o'ercame.

4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench The fervors of His love;

For us He died in kindness here,

Nor is less kind above.

5 O may we ne'er forget His grace,
Nor blush to wear His Name;

Still may our hearts hold fast His faith,
Our mouths His praise proclaim.
