5 When I touch the blessed shore, 6 Thus,-Oh! thus an entrance give 191. 8s and 7s. Jesus, exalted to the Throne. 1 JESUS! hail! enthroned in glory, All the heavenly host adore thee, 2 There for sinners thou art pleading, Till in glory we appear. 3 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, i Help, ye bright angelic spirits! 192. L. M. Christ, the Lord of Angels. 1 GREAT God! to what a glorious height Hast thou advanced the Lord, thy Son! Angels, in all their robes of light, Are made the servants of his throne. 2 Before his feet their armies wait, And swift as flames of fire they move, To manage his affairs of state, In works of vengeance, or of love. 4 Lord! when we leave this mortal ground, And thou shalt bid us rise and come,Send thy beloved angels down 193. Safe to conduct our spirits home. L. M. The Way to Heaven. 1 JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,— He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; Till late I heard my Saviour say,"Come hither, soul! I am the way." 3 Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb! Shalt take me to thee as I am; My sinful self to thee I giveNothing but love shall I receive. 4 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say,-"Behold the way to God!" 194. S. M. Christ's Intercession. 1 YES, the Redeemer 's gone, To sprinkle o'er the flaming throne, 2 No fiery vengeance now,— No burning wrath comes down; 3 Before his Father's eye Our humble suit he moves; 4 Now may our joyful tongues Jesus, the priest, receives our songs, 5 We bow before his face, 6 On earth thy mercy reigns, But, Lord! how weak our mortal strains, 195. L. M. The Dominion of Christ. 1 HAIL to the Prince of life and peace, And sovereign power becomes him well. 3 Live-live for ever, glorious Lord! To quell thy foes-and guard thy friends; 4 Worthy thy hand to hold the keys, O'er worlds below, and worlds above. 5 For ever reign, victorious King! Wide through the earth thy name be known! And call my longing soul to sing 196. Sublimer anthems near thy throne. H. M. Our High-Priest in Heaven 1 TH' atoning work is done,— The victim's blood is shed; And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead : He stands in heaven, their great nigh-priest, And bears their names upon his breast. 2 No temple made with hands His place of service is: In heaven itself he stands, A heavenly priesthood his : Hid from the eyes of men, Their great high-priest again : 197. C. M. Our Great High-Priest. 1 COME, let us join our songs of praise He entered heaven, with all our names 2 Below he washed our guilt away, Now he appears before the throne, 3 Clothed with our nature still, he knows The weakness of our frame, And how to shield us from the foes 4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench The fervors of his love; For us he died in kindness here, 5 Oh! may we ne'er forget his grace, Still may our hearts hold fast his faith - 198. HOLY SPIRIT. C. M. Breathing after the Holy Spirit. 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove! Kindle a flame of sacred love, 2 Look-how we grovel here below, 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, 4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove! 199. S. M Convicting and sanctifying Influenco. 1 COME, Holy Spirit! come, 2 Convince us of our sin, Then lead to Jesus' blood; 3 "T is thine to cleanse the heart, To pour fresh life in every part, 4 Revive our drooping faith; Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our breast the flame Of never-dying love. 200. 7s.
