When op'ning graves shall yield their charge, And dust to life awake;

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

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

-3 Behold, what heav'nly prophets sung,
Is now at last fulfill'd-

• That death should yield his ancient reign, And, vanquish'd quit the field.

o 4 Let faith exalt her joyful voice, And thus begin to sing:

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

5 "Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt;
'Twas this that arm'd 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 conqu'rors, when we die,
Through Christ our living head."
-7 Then stedfast let us still remain,
Though dangers rise arround;
And in the work prescrib'd by God,
Yet more and more abound.

o 8 Assur'd, that though we labour now,
We labour not in vain;

But thro' the grace of heav'ns great Lord,
The eternal crown shall gain. SCOTCH PAR.

HYMN 233. C. M. Arundel. [*]

WH

The Last Tempest.

THEN 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;

e My harp all trembling in my hand, And all inspir'd 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 tongue

All rapture in my heart.

BYLES.

HYMN 234. 8, 7, & 4. Littleton. [*]
Christ coming to Judgment.

1 O, 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 fill'd 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-

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- Iwas naked"And ye minister'd to me."

e 5 But how awful is the sentence,
"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 shew'd."

-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,
While thy wrath o'er sinners roll;
In this general wreck of nature,
Be the refuge of my soul:

Jesus, save me! Jesus, save me! when the light'nings, Blaze around from pole to pole.

The Day of Judgment.

DA AY of judgment, day of wonders!

Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,

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, Cloth'd 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 S At his call, the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea,
All the powers of nature, shaken
By his looks prepare to flee:
Careless sinner,

What will then be come 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,
Lov'd and serv'd 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 chang'd to praise: We shall triumph

g When the world is in a blaze!

TE DEUM. A General Hymn of Praise.
GOD, we praise thee, and confess,
That thou the only Lord,

And everlasting Father art,
By all on earth ador'd.

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

3 "Holy, holy, holy Lord,

Whom heavenly hosts obey;
"The world is with the glory fill'd
"Of thy majestic sway."

4 The apostle's glorious company,
And prophets crown'd 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 honour'd, true, and only Son,

And Holy Ghost the spring,

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