4 O glorious Imman'el! Jehovah with man! With us God is prefent; (amazing the plan !) Perfection of joy we now understand, Whilft rivers of pleasure flow at his right hand : We stand, when no higher our notes we can raise, In filence expreffive, of wonder and praise. SHOUT! for the bleffed Jefus reigns; 2 His fons and daughters from afar, 3 Oppreffors now beneath his feet, 4 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey, 5 HYMN 33. L. M. JESUS fhall reign where'er the fun His kingdom ftretch from fhore to fhore, "Till moons fhall wax and wane no more. 2 Behold the islands, with their kings, 3 There Perfia, glorious to behold, 4 For him fhall endless pray'r be made, And praises throng to crown his head ; His name like fweet perfume shall rife With ev'ry morning facrifice. 5 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Bleffings abound where'er he reigns, And all the fons of want are bleft. 7 Where he displays his healing pow'r, 8 Let ev'ry creature rife and bring HYMN 34. P. M. ALL hail, incarnate God !

THOUGH mothers kind, forgetful prove, Of fucklings nourish'd at the breast, 2 Yet I will ne'er forget my bride, 3 I'll not forget my word, mine oath, 4 Wrote on my hands thy much lov'd name, I fee thee always without blame, 5 Thy walls before me always are; 6 O happy Zion, fee and prove, How groundlefs all thy forrows are ! HYMN 36. C. M. WHEN first the God of boundless grace Difclos'd his kind defign, To rescue our apoftate race 2 Quick through the realms of light and bliss, The joyful tidings ran, Each heart exulted at the news, That God would dwell with man. 3 Yet 'midst their joys they paus'd a while, 4 Will the Almighty deign again, 5 Their tears, and groans, and deep distress, Aloud for mercy call: But ah! must truth and righteousness 6 So fpake the friends of God and man, Eager to know the wond'rous plan, 7 The Son of God attentive heard, 8 Behold my vital blood I pour, A facrifice to God; Juftice divine will now no more Demand the finner's blood.” |
