Though they are known by different names, 6 Then let the name of Christ, our King, And all the nations own the Lord. 157 1 2 3 4 Gratitude to the Saviour. OME, every pious heart COMI That loves the Saviour's name, Your noblest powers exert To celebrate his fame; Tell all above, and all below, He left his starry crown, And laid his robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What he endured no tongue can tell, From the dark grave he rose, The mansion of the dead; And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led: Up through the sky the conqueror rode, The debt we owe thy love; Yet tell us how we may Our gratitude approve: Our hearts-our all to thee we give; The gift, though small, do thou receive. 158 1 Now Christ's Sufferings and Glory. OW for a tune of lofty praise, And the bright robes he wore above; Watts. H. M. Stennett. L. M. 3 Down to this base, this sinful earth He came, to raise our nature high; . His precious blood the monsters spilt; 6 Among a thousand harps and songs, 159 1 ΤΟ The Love of Christ. O our Redeemer's glorious name Oh may his love-immortal flame- 2 He left his radiant throne on high, 3 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay May every heart with rapture say— "The Saviour died for me." 4 Oh may the sweet, the blissful theme, Till strangers love thy charming name, 160 Loving-Kindness. 1 AWAKE, my soul, in joyful lays, Watts. C. M. Mrs. Steele. And sing thy great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from me, 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; L. M. He saved me from my lost estate, 161 1 2 3 4 The Name of Jesus. LET earth and heaven combine, And one high anthem raise, To sing of love divine, And shout the Saviour's praise; T'adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus' name. Jesus-transporting name! It charms the hosts above; They look upon his heavenly face, His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free; 'Tis music in his ears; 'Tis life and victory; New songs do now his lips employ, Stung by the scorpion sin, And is at once made whole: Medley. H. M. 5 I see my Lord upon the tree, I know, I feel he died for me. Oh for a trumpet voice, On all the world to call; In him who died for all; Inspire with praise each human tongue, 162 1 C. Wesley, (alt'd.) Characters of Christ. L. M. 10, worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. 2 The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord: My soul to Christ, the living Vine. Yet the sweet streams that from him flow, 6 Is he a star? He breaks the night, I know the bright, the Morning Star. 7 Is he a sun? His beams are grace, To chase their clouds and dry their tears. 9 Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, 163 1 Christ crowned as Lord of all. A Let angels prostrate fall; LL hail, the power of Jesus' name! Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown him Lord of all. 2 Crown him, ye martyrs of our God, Extol the stem of Jesse's rod, 3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, grace, 4 Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget 5 Let every kindred, every tribe To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him Lord of all. 6 Oh that with yonder sacred throng We at his feet may fall; We'll join the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all. 164 1 2 Scriptural Titles of Christ. WITH cheerful voice I sing The titles of my Lord, And borrow all the names In Jesus we behold His Father's glorious face, With mild and lovely rays: C. M. Duncan. H. M. |
