The Last Judgment. Rev. xx, 5, 6,

1 SEE where the great incarnate God
Fills a majestic throne;

While, from the skies, his awful voice
Bears the last judgment down.
2. (I am the First, and I the Last,—
Through endless years the same;

'I AM-is my memorial still,
'And my eternal name.

3 'Such favours as a God can give, 'My royal grace bestows;

"Ye thirsty souls, come taste the streams, 'Where life and pleasure flows.)

4 (The saint who triumphs o'er his sins, I'll own him for a son;

"The whole creation shall reward "The conquests he has won.

5 But bloody hands, and hearts unclean, And all the lying race,

The faithless and the scoffing crew, "That spurn at offer'd grace ;

6They shall be taken from my sight, 'Bound fast in iron chains,

And headlong plung'd into the lake,
'Where fire and darkness reigns.")

7 Oh may I stand before the Lamb,
When earth and seas are fled!
And hear the Judge pronounce my name,
With blessings on my head.

8 May I with those for ever dwell,
Who here were my delight;

While sinners, banish'd down to hell,
No more offend my sight.]

HYMN 48. L. M. Nantwich. Leeds. [*] The Christian Race. Isa. xl, 28-31.

AWAKE our souls! (away our fears,

Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone ;)

o Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on.

e 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
-But they forget the nighty God,
Who feeds the strength of ev'ry saint-
g 3 The mighty God, whose matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young;

And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.

o 4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a full supply;
e While such as trust their native strength,
a Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
o 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,

We'll mount aloft to thine abode ;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

HYMN 49. C. M. Arundel. [*] Works of Moses, and of the Lamb. Rev. xv,

1 [HOW strong thine arm is, mighty God

Who would not fear thy name?

Jesus, how sweet thy graces are!
Who would not love the Lamb?]

2 Christ has done more than Moses did,
Our Prophet, and our King:
From bonds of hell he freed our souls,
And taught our lips to sing.

3 In the Red Sea, by Moses' hand,
The Egyptian host was drown'd:
But his own blood hides all our sins,
And guilt no more is found.

4 When through the desert Israel went,
With manna they were fed:
Our Lord invites us to his flesh,
And calls it living bread.

e 5 Moses beheld the promis'd land,
Yet never reach'd the place:

o But Christ shall bring his foll'wers home, To see his Father's face.

3

s 6 Then shall our love and joy be full,
And feel a warmer flame;

And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

HYMN 50. C. M. Bethlehem. [*]

Song of Zacharias. Luke i, 68, &c. John i, 29, 32. 1 NOW be the God of Israel bless'd,

Who makes his truth appear;

His mighty hand fulfils his word,
And all the oaths he sware.

2 Now he bedews old David's root,
With blessings from the skies:
o He makes the Branch of promise grow,
The promis'd Horn arise.

3 [John was the prophet of the Lord,
То go before his face;

The herald, whom our Saviour God
Sent to prepare his ways.

4 He makes the great salvation known,
He speaks of pardoned sins;

While grace divine, and heavenly love,
In its own glory shines.

5 Behold the Lamb of God,' he cries,
Who takes our guilt away:

'I saw the Spirit o'er his head, On his baptizing day.']

o 6 Be ev'ry vale exalted high; Sink, ev'ry mountain, low:

e The proud must stoop, and humble souls Shall his salvation know.

o 7 The heathen realms, with Israel's land,
Shall join in sweet accord;

And all that's born of man shall see
The glory of the Lord.

o 8 Behold the morning Star arise,

Ye that in darkness sit:

-He marks the path that leads to peace,

And guides our doubtful feet.

Jude 24, 25.

Our Saviour, and our King,

Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.

2 'Tis his almighty love,

His counsel, and his care
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And ev'ry hurtful snare.

3 He will present our souls,
Unblemish'd and complete,

Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.

0 4

Then all the chosen seed

Shall meet around the throne; Shall bless the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known.

To our Redeemer God

Wisdom with power belongs;

Immortal crowns of majesty,

Baptism. Matt. xxviii, 19; Acts ii, 38. 'TWAS the commission of our Lord,

Go, teach the nations, and baptize : The nations have receiv'd the word, Since he ascended to the skies.

2 He sits upon th' eternal hills. With grace and pardon in his hands; And sends his cov'nant, with the sals, To bless the distant Christian lands. 3 'Repent, and be baptiz'd,' he saith, "For the remission of your sins;' And thus our sense assists our faith, And shews us what his gospel means. 4 Our souls he washes in his blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends, like purifying rain.

5 Thus we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov❜nant with the Lord O may the great Eternal Three

In heaven our solemn vows record!

HYMN 53. L. M. Green's.

The Holy Scriptures. Heb. i, 1; 2 Tim. iii, 15, 16; Ps. cxlvii, 19, 20.

1 GOD, who in various methods told

His mind and will to saints of old,
Sent his own Son, with truth and grace,
To teach us in these latter days.

o 2 Our nation reads the written word,
That book of life, that sure record;—
The bright inheritance of heaven
Is by the sweet conveyance given.

e 3 God's kindest thoughts are here exprest,
Able to make us wise and blest;
The doctrines are divinely true,
Fit for reproof and comfort too.
-4 Ye people all, who read his love
In long epistles from above,-
(He hath not sent his sacred word
o To ev'ry land) praise ye the Lord.]

HYMN 54. L. M. Quercy. Leeds. [*]
Saints beloved in Christ. Eph. i, 3, &c.

1 JESUS, we bless thy Father's name;

Thy God and ours is one, the same;
What heavenly blessings, from his throne,
Flow down to sinners through his Son!

2 Christ be my first Elect,' he said
Then chose our souls in Christ our Head;
Before he gave the mountains birth,
Or laid foundations for the earth.

3 Thus did eternal love begin
To raise us up from death and sin;
Our characters were then decreed,-
Blameless in love, a holy seed.

4 Predestinated to be sons,
Born by degrees, but chose at once;
A new, regenerated race,

To praise the glory of his grace.

o 5 With Christ, our Lord, we share a part
In the affections of his heart;

Nor shall our souls be thence remov'd,
Till he forgets his First Belov'd.
