When opening graves shall yield their charge,

And dust to life awake;

o 2 Those bodies, that corrupted fell,
Shall incorrupted rise;

And mortal forins shall spring to life,
Immortal in the skies.

-3 Behold, what heavenly prophets sung,
Is now at last fulfilled-

o That Death should yield his ancient reign, And, vanquished, quit the field.

o 4 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, And thus begin to sing;

d "O Grave! where is thy triumph now? "And where, O Death! thy sting?

5 "Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt
""Twas this that armed thy dart;
"The law gave sin its strength, and force,
To pierce the sinner's heart.

6 "But God, whose name be ever blest!
Disarms that foe we dread;

"And makes us conquerors, when we die,
Through Christ our living Head."

-7 (Then steadfast let us still remain,
Though dangers rise around;
And in the work prescribed by God,
Yet more and more abound:-

o 8 Assured, that though we labour now,
We labour not in vain;

But through the grace of heaven's great Lord,

e 1

The eternal crown shall gain.)

The Last Tempest.

WHEN wild confusion wrecks the air,
And tempests rend the skies;

Whilst blended ruin, clouds and fire

In harsh disorder rise ;

o 2 Safe in my Saviour's love I'll stand, And strike a tuneful song;

d My harp all trembling in my hand, And all inspired my tongue.

d 3 I'll shout aloud, "Ye thunders, roll, "And shake the sullen sky;

"Your sounding voice, from pole to pole,
"In angry murmurs try.

4 "Let the earth totter on her base,
"And clouds the heavens deform;
"Blow, all ye winds, from every place,
"And rush the final storm!

-5 Come quickly, blessed HOPE, appear—
Bid thy swift chariot fly;

Let angels tell thy coming near,
And snatch me to the sky.

o 6 Around thy wheels, in the glad throng,
I'd bear a joyful part;

g All hallelujah on my tongueAll rapture in my heart.

Christ coming to Judgment,

10, he comes-the King of glory!
With his chosen tribes to reign;
Countless hosts of saints and angels
Swell the mighty Conqueror's train;
Now in triumph,

Sin and death are captive led.

g 2 See the rocks and mountains rending-
All the nations filled with dread!
e Hark! the trump of God-proclaiming
Through the mansions of the dead-
"Come to judgment-

d

"Stand before the Son of Man!"

-3 Now behold the dead awaking;
Great and small before him stand;
Not one soul forgot, or missing;
None his orders countermand:
All stand waiting-

a

For their last decisive doom!

4 Hear the Chief among ten thousand Thus address his faithful few;

d" Come, ye blessed of my Father, "Heaven is prepared for you;

"I was hungry-I was thirsty—I was naked"And ye ministered to me."

e 5 But how awful is the sentence,

d

"Go from me, ye cursed race"To that place of endless torment, "Never more to see my face:

“I was hungry—I was thirsty—I was naked— "Ye to me no mercy showed."

-6 Now awake, ye slumbering virgins,

Trim your lamps; the bridegroom's near;
Let your loins with truth be girded,
Signs proclaim, he'll soon appear:
Mark! the fig-tree,

Budding, shows the summer's near.

e 7 Jesus, save a trembling sinner, Though thy wrath o'er sinners roll; In this general wreck of nature,

d

Be the refuge of my soul :

Jesus, save me! Jesus, save me! when the lightBlaze around from pole to pole.

The Day of Judgment.

e1D Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, AY of judginent, day of wonders!

d

Louder than a thousand thunders,

Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons

Will the sinner's heart confound!

g 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine!

d

e

-You who long for his appearing,

Then shall say, "This GoD is mine."
Gracious Saviour,

Own me in that day for thine!

o 3 At his call, the dead awaken,

P

Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By his looks, prepare to flee:

Careless sinner,

What will then become of thee?

e 4 Horrors, past imagination,

d

Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, "Hence, accursed wretch, depart!

"Thou with Satan

"And his angels, have thy part!' -5 But to those who have confessed, Loved and served the Lord below, d He will say, "Come near, ye blessed, "See the kingdom I bestow : "You forever

"Shall my love and glory know." -6 Under sorrows and reproaches, May this thought our courage raise: Swiftly God's great day approachesSighs shall then be changed to praise : We shall triumph

When the world is in a blaze!

TE DEUM. A General Hymn of Praise.

O GOD, we praise thee, and confess,

That thou the only Lord,

And everlasting Father art,
By all on earth adored.

2 To thee all angels cry aloud,
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim, and seraphim,
Continually do cry,—

3 "O holy, holy, holy Lord,
"Whom heavenly hosts obey;
"The world is with the glory filled
"Of thy majestic sway."

4 The apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

5 The holy church, throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses thee;

That thou eternal Father art,

Of boundless majesty ;—

6 Thy honoured, true, and only Son,
And Holy Ghost, the spring

Of never-ceasing joy; O Christ,
Of glory thou art King.

Almighty Power and Majesty of God.

u1 T The winds obey his will;

HE Lord our God is clothed with might,

He speaks and in his heavenly height,
The rolling sun stands still.

2 Rebel, ye waves-and o'er the land
With threatening aspect roar!
The Lord uplifts his awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.

3 Howl, winds of night! your force combine '
Without his high behest,

p Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow's nest.

4 His voice sublime is heard afar, In distant peals it dies;

u He yokes the whirlwinds to his car, And sweeps the howling skies.

5 Ye nations, bend-in reverence bend;
Ye monarchs, wait his nod,

And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate our God.

The Fall and its Effects.

P1 W The dire contagion spread ;

THEN Adam sinned, through all his race

Sickness and death, and deep disgrace
Sprang from our fallen head.

2 From God and happiness we fly,
To earth and sense confined;
Lost in a maze of misery,

Yet to our misery blind.

3 Corruption flows through all our veins,
Our moral beauty's gone:

The gold is fled, the dross remains :
O sin, what hast thou done?

4 Jesus, reveal thy pardoning grace,
And draw our souls to Thee:
Thou art the only hiding-place
Where ruined souls can flee.
