2. There, with eternal glory crowned,
The Lord, the Conqueror reigns;
His praise the heavenly choirs resound,
In their immortal strains.

3. Amid the splendors of His throne,
Unchanging love appears;

The names He purchased for His own
Still on His heart He bears.

4. O, the rich depths of love divine!
Of bliss, a boundless store:
Dear Saviour, let me call Thee mine;
I can not wish for more.

5. On Thee alone, my hope relies;
Beneath Thy cross I fall,

My Lord, my Life, my Sacrifice,
My Saviour, and my All.

MRS. STEELE,

1. THE head that once was crowned with thorns

Is crowned with glory now;

A royal diadem adorns

The mighty Victor's brow.

2. The highest place that heaven affords
Is His by sovereign right;

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns in glory bright;-.

3. The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,

To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.

4. To them, the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace is given;

Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy-the joy of heaven.

5. They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.

6. To them the cross is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him;
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

KELLY.

1. HE, who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,

Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.

2. His hands the wheels of nature guide,
With an unerring skill,

And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey His sovereign will.

3. While harps unnumbered sound His praise
In yonder world above,

His saints on earth admire His ways,
And glory in His love.

4. When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasant shade.

5. How glorious He! how happy they,
In such a glorious Friend!

Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end.

1. Now let our cheerful eyes survey
Our great High Priest above,
And celebrate His constant care,
And sympathetic love.

2. Though raised to a superior throne,
Where angels bow around,

And high o'er all the shining train,

With matchless honors crowned ;

3. The names of all His saints He bears
Deep graven on His heart;
Nor shall a name once treasured there
E'er from His care depart.

4. Those characters shall fair abide,
Our everlasting trust,

When gems and monuments, and crowns,
Are moldered down to dust.

5. So, gracious Saviour, on my breast
May Thy dear name be worn,
A sacred ornament and guard,
To endless ages borne.

1. WITH joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above:
His heart is made of tenderness,
His bosom glows with love.

2. Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For He hath felt the same.

3. He in the days of feeble flesh

Poured out His cries and tears;
And in His measure feels afresh
What every member bears.

4. Then let our humble faith address

His mercy and His power;

We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour.

1. YE humble souls, that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;

And bow with reverence down, to see
The place where Jesus lay.

2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought-
Such wonders love can do!

Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Which throbbed and bled for you.

3. If ye have wept at yonder cross,
And still your sorrows rise,

Stoop down and view the vanquished grave,
Then wipe your weeping eyes.

4. But dry your tears, and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;

Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain.

5. High o'er th' angelic band He rears
His once dishonored head;

[blocks in formation]

Live by heaven and earth adored!
Filled with Thee let all things cry,
Glory be to God most high.

2. Mixt with those beyond the sky,
Chanters to the Lord, most high,
We our hearts and voices raise,
Echoing Thy eternal praise.

3. Thee, while dust and ashes sings,
Angels shrink within their wings;
Prostrate seraphim above

Breathe unutterable love.

4. Happy they who never rest,
With Thy heavenly presence blest!
They the heights of glory see,
Sound the depth of Deity.

5. Fain with them our souls would vie;
Sink as low, and mount as high;
Fall, o'erwhelmed with love, or soar,
Shout, or silently adore.

C. WESLEY.

1. HOLY, holy, holy Lord!
Be Thy glorious name adored;
Lord! Thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2. Though unworthy, Lord, Thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around Thy throne we sing.
3. While on earth ordained to stay,
Guide our footsteps in Thy way;
Then on high we'll joyful raise
Songs of everlasting praise.

4. Lord! Thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness hail!
Be Thy glorious name adored,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

SALISBURY COLL.

1. MORNING breaks upon the tomb,
Jesus scatters all its gloom;
Day of triumph through the skies—
See the glorious Saviour rise!
2. Ye, who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scattered shade;
Drive your anxious cares away;
See the place where Jesus lay!
