3. He who wears the crown of thorns,
He whom man reviles and scorns,
Claims exclusively the words-
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

4 On the cross 'tis still the same;
Never does He yield His claim:
Clear His title to the words-
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

5 Past the conflict of His love:
See! He takes His seat above!
On His vesture shine the words--
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

JESUS, Thou Shepherd of the sheep!
Thy little flock in safety keep!

L. M.

The flock for which Thou cam'st from heav'n,
The flock for which Thy life was giv'n.

2 Thou saw'st them wand'ring far from Thee, Secure, as if from danger free:

Thy love did all their wand'rings trace,
And bring them to a wealthy place.

3 O guard Thy sheep from beasts of prey,
And keep them that they never stray;
Cherish the young, sustain the old ;
Let none be feeble in Thy fold.

4 Secure them from the scorching beam,
And lead them to the living stream;
In verdant pastures let them lie,
And watch them with a shepherd's eye.

5 Lord, bring Thy sheep that wander yet,
And let the number be complete:

Then let Thy flock from earth remove,
And occupy
the fold above.

ANGELS! roll the rock away,
-Death! yield up thy mighty prey:
See! He rises from the tomb,

Rises with immortal bloom.

Hallelujah!

2 Tis the Saviour! Angels, raise
Your eternal trump of praise:
Yet the earth's remotest bound,
Hear the joy inspiring sound.

Hallelujah!

3 Lift, ye saints, lift up your eyes;
Now to glory see Him rise:
Mark His progress thro' the sky,
To th' expecting worlds on high.

Hallelujah!

4 Heav'n displays her portals wide;
Glorious Victor! thro' them ride;
King of Glory! mount Thy throne,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own.

Hallelujah!

5 Praise Him all ye heav'nly choirs,
Strike aloud your golden lyres;
Shout, O earth, in rapt'rous song,
Let the strain be sweet and strong.

Hallelujah!

6 Higher yet the chorus swell:
Death o'erthrown, and captiv'd hell;
Where is hell's once dreaded king?
Where, O death, thy venom'd sting?

Hallelujah!

Isaiah xxxii. 2.

ESUS is the Rock of Ages;
Rais'd by our Jehovah's love,
Far above all other mountains,
Reaching to the realms above:
Rock of Ages,

Now to us a shelter prove.

2 Shelter of the weary pilgrim!
Refuge of the tempted soul!
Source of every heav'nly blessing!
All the saints of God control:
Rock of Ages,

Cheer our hearts, and make them whole.

3 Bid our faith with wings expanding,
Bear us to this safe retreat;
To the rock the saints inhabit,
Where they sing in union sweet:
Rock of Ages,

Make us feel in Thee complete.

4 From Thy tow'ring height beholding,
We can look around and smile;
Sinners here are safe from danger,
Free from sin, and care, and toil:
Rock of Ages,

Our expecting foes beguile.

5 Here afford a glorious vision,
Of the goodly distant land;
Till with all Thy ransomed people,
On its shores we joyful stand:
Rock of Ages,

Lead us to that chosen band.

4 And

ye that sincerely
Confide in the Lamb,
He loves you most dearly,
Rejoice in His name.
No more the believer
From God shall be torn;
To hold him for ever
An Infant is born.

Ex. xii. 3.

HOU very Paschal Lamb,
Whose blood for us was shed,

Thro' whom we out of Egypt came,
Thy ransom'd people lead!

Angel of gospel grace,

Fulfil Thy character!

To guard and feed Thy chosen race,
In Israel's camp appear!

Throughout the desert way,
Conduct us by Thy light!

Be Thou a cooling cloud by day,
A cheering fire by night.

Our fainting souls sustain
With blessings from above;
And ever on Thy people rain
The manna of Thy love!

Psalm xxiii.

JESUS, Shepherd of Thy flock;
Where the living waters flow;
To the shadow of the Rock,
Lord our willing feet would go:
