8 Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:

4 That having all things done,

And all your conflicts past,

Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

5 Stand, then, against your foes,
In close and firm array,
Legions of enemies oppose
Throughout the evil day.

6 Leave no unguarded place,

No weakness of the soul; Take every virtue, every grace, And fortify the whole.

God is Sovereign.

1 COME, sound his praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2 He formed the deeps unknown,
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at his throne;

Come, bow before the Lord: We are his work, and not our own, He formed us by his word.

4 To-day attend his voice,

Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

2. "Let young children come to me,"
Jesus said, Jesus said;

"Let young children come to me,
And forbid them not.

"For of such," the Saviour told them,
"Is composed my heavenly kingdom."
What a rapturous thought it is,
Christ forgets us not!

8. Let us love, and now adore;

Love him now, love him now.
Let us love, and now adore,

In our youthful strength.

Let us never grieve our Saviour,
Who hath died to win us favor,

Ah! this thought should melt our hearts-
Children's hearts can melt.

4. But we'll have a joyous song,
Joyous song, joyous song;
But we'll have a joyous song
For our jubilee.

Jesus lives and reigns forever;
This will make us joyous ever.
Saviour, hear this praise to thee,
Who remembered me.
