All tongues shall bless him-ev'ry knee Shall bow submissive to his throne.

HYMN 483. L. M.

Beddome.

Old Hundred. Luther's Hymn. Malmsbury.

Thy kingdom come.

Matt. vi. 10.

1 ASCEND thy throne, Almighty King, And spread thy glories all abroad; Let thy own arm salvation bring,

And be thou known, the gracious God. 2 Let millions bow before thy seat; Let humble mourners seek thy face; Bring daring rebels to thy feet, Subdu'd by thy victorious grace. 3 Oh, let the kingdoms of the world Become the kingdoms of the Lord; Let saints and angels praise thy name; Be thou thro' heav'n and earth ador'd

HYMN 484. L. M.

Luther's Hymn. Malmsbury.

1 BRIGHT as the sun's meridian blaze,
Vast as the blessings he conveys,
Wide as his reign from pole to pole,
And permanent as his control:

2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come-
Then sin and hell's terrific gloom
Shall, at his brightness, flee away,
The dawn of an eternal day.

[blocks in formation]

1 LET saints on earth their anthems raise,
Who taste the Saviour's grace:
Let heathens too proclaim his praise,
And crown him "Prince of Peace."

2 Praise him, who laid his glory by,
For man's apostate race;

Praise him, who stoop'd to bleed and die,
And crown him "Prince of Peace."

3 Ye nations, lay your weapons down,
Let war for ever cease;
Immanuel for your Sov'reign own,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

4 We soon shall reach the heav'nly shore, To view his lovely face;

His name for ever to adore,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

HYMN 486.

Tabernacle. Drummond.

Isa. ii. 2.

Kelly.

1 HARK! a cry among the nations!

66

Come, and let us seek the Lord:

"Vain our former expectations;
"Vain the idols we ador'd:

“Zion's King is God alone:

"Let us bow before his throne."

2 See! from ev'ry quarter flowing,
Joyful crowds assemble round:
Love, in ev'ry heart is glowing:
Praise is heard in ev'ry sound;
While Jehovah shows his face,
Glory fills the sacred place.

3 Weapons meant for mutual slaughter
Now are instruments of peace;
They who taste the living water,
Learn from war and strife to cease:
Jesus reigns-the carth is still-
All the nations do his will.

HYMN 487. 7s.

Montgomery.

Hotham. Middleton.

Rev. xiv. 2, 3.

1 HARK! the song of Jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore :Hallelujah! for the Lord,

God omnipotent, shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the depth unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:-
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,

Sheath'd his sword: he speaks: 'tis done;
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway:

He shall reign, when like a scroll,
Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away :-
Then the end ;-beneath his rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.

1 ASSEMBLED at thy great command, Before thy face, dread King, we stand; The voice that marshall'd ev'ry star, Has call'd thy people from afar.

2 We meet, through distant lands to spread The truth for which the martyrs bled; Along the line-to either pole

The thunder of thy praise to roll.

3 First, bow our hearts beneath thy sway:
Then give thy growing empire way,
O'er wastes of sin-o'er fields of blood-
Till all mankind shall be subdu'd.

4 Our pray'rs assist-accept our praiseOur hopes revive-our courage raise→

Our counsels aid-and Oh! limpart
The single eye-the faithful heart!

Recall the wand'ring spirit home:

From Zion's mount send forth the sound
To spread the spacious earth around.

Leyden. China. Leeds.

1 BEHOLD th' expected time draw near, The shades disperse, the dawn appear; Behold the wilderness assume

The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom.
2 The untaught heathen waits to know
The joy the gospel will bestow,
The exil'd captive, to receive
The freedom Jesus has to give.
3 Come, let us with a grateful heart
In the blest labor share a part;
Our pray'rs and off'rings gladly bring
To aid the triumphs of our King.
4 Invite the world to come and prove
A Saviour's condescending love;
And humbly fall before his feet,
Assur'd they shall acceptance meet.
HYMN 490. L. M.

Armley. Luton.

1 INDULGENT God of love and pow'r, Be with us at this solemn hour!

Smile on our souls; our plans approve,
By which we seek to spread thy love.
