There, seated in Thy Majesty,
To Thee submissive bow

The Heaven of heavens, the spacious earth,
The depths of hell below.

With trembling there the Angels see
The changed estate of man;

The flesh which sinned by Flesh redeemed;
Man in the GODHEAD reign.

There, waiting for Thy faithful souls,

Be Thou to us, O LORD!

Our peerless Joy while here we stay,
In Heaven our great Reward.

All praise to JESUS, Who returns
Triumphantly to Heaven;
Praise to the FATHER evermore,
And HOLY GHOST be given. Amen.

ESU! our Hope, our heart's Desire,
Redemption's only Spring!

CREATOR of the world art Thou,
Its SAVIOUR and its King.

How vast the Mercy and the Love,
Which laid our sins on Thee,

And led Thee to a cruel death,
To set Thy people free!

But now the bonds of death are burst, The Ransom has been paid;

And Thou art on Thy FATHER's Throne
In glorious robes array'd.

O may Thy mighty Love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare!

0 may we stand around Thy Throne, And see Thy Glory there!

JESU! our only Joy be Thou,
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
In Thee be all our glory now,
And through eternity. Amen.

COME,

Whitsuntide.

YOME, HOLY GHOST, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;

Thou the anointing SPIRIT art,

Who dost Thy seven-fold Gifts impart:
Thy blessed Unction from above,
Is comfort, life and fire of love;
Enable with perpetual Light

The dulness of our blinded sight:
Anoint and cheer our soilèd face
With the abundance of Thy Grace:
Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where Thou art Guide no ill can come.
Teach us to know the FATHER, SON,
And Thee of Both to be but ONE;
That, through the ages all along,
This
may be our endless song;

Praise to Thine eternal Merit,
FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.

BOVE the starry spheres

To where He was before,

CHRIST had gone up, the FATHER'S Gift
Upon the Church to pour.

At length had fully come,
On mystic circle borne

Of seven times seven revolving days,
The Pentecostal morn:

When as the Apostles knelt

At the third hour in prayer,

A sudden rushing sound proclaimed
That GOD Himself was there.

Forthwith a tongue of fire

Is seen on every brow;

Each heart receives the FATHER'S Light, The WORD's enkindling Glow:

The HOLY GHOST on all

Is mightily outpour'd,

Who straight in divers tongues declare

The Wonders of the LORD.

While strangers of all climes
Flock round from far and near,

And their own tongue, wherever born,
All with amazement hear.

But Judah, faithless still,
Denies the hand divine;

And mocking, jeers the saints of CHRIST,
As full of new-made wine.

Till Peter, in the midst,

By Joel's ancient word

Rebukes their unbelief, and wins

Three thousand to the LORD.

The FATHER, and the SON,

And SPIRIT we adore;

may the SPIRIT'S Gifts be pour'd

On us for evermore.

56.

Amen.

HEN GOD of old came down from Heaven,
In Power and Wrath He came ;
Before His feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame:

But when He came the second time,
He came in Power and Love;
Softer than gale at morning prime
Hovered His Holy Dove.

The fires that rushed on Sinai down
In sudden torrents dread,

Now gently light, a glorious crown,
On every sainted head.
