3 Here let our powers unite
His honoured name to raise ;
Let grateful joy fill every mind,
And tune each voice to praise.

4 For while the banquet here
Each guest with freedom shares,
He, for us, in the heavenly world,
A nobler feast prepares.

HYMN XXXVII. L. M.

Christ's second coming.

MATT. XXVI. 26-30. REV. XXII. 20.

1 THUS We commemorate the day

On which our dearest Lord was slain;

Thus we our pious homage pay,
Till he appears on earth again.

2 Come, great Redeemer, open wide
The curtains of the parting sky;
On a bright cloud in triumph ride,
And on the wind's swift pinions fly!

3 Come, King of kings, with thy bright train, Cherubs and seraphs, heavenly hosts; Assume thy right, enlarge thy reign

As far as earth extends its coasts!

4 Come, Lord,-where Judah's altar blazed,
Let Judah's sons their God adore:
Come, Lord, and where thy cross was raised,
Let the pale crescent gleam no more.

5 Come, Lord, and plant thy standard there,
There fix thine everlasting throne;

Give thy broad banners to the air,
And make the nations all thy own.

HYMN XXXVIII. L. M.

1 "'Tis finished!"-So the Saviour cried,
And meekly bowed his head and died.
'Tis finished-yes, the race is run,
'The battle fought, the victory won.

2 'Tis finished!-All that heaven decreed,
And all the ancient prophets said,
Is now fulfilled, as was designed,
In thee, the Saviour of mankind.

3 'Tis finished!-Aaron now no more
Must stain his robes with purple gore.
The sacred vail is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.

4 'Tis finished!-Man is reconciled
To God, and powers of darkness spoiled.
Peace, love and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.

5 'Tis finished!-Let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round. 'Tis finished!-Let the echo fly

Through heaven and hell, through earth and sky!

1 To God, of every good the spring,
The tribute of your praises bring,
For grace and truth through Jesus given,
Mercy, and peace, and hope of heaven.

2 Grateful the joyous news proclaim,
Salvation is in Jesus' name;

Salvation!-shout the glorious sound,
Proclaim it to the world around.

3 Tell every fearful, trembling soul That gospel grace will make him whole: Invite the weary poor to come;

At Jesus' feast there still is room.

4 Jesus! that name shall calm their fears, Dispel their doubts, and dry their tears, Shall ease the anxious, throbbing breast, And give the weary mourner rest.

5 Jesus-our Prophet, Saviour, King,-
For Jesus, grateful praise we bring
To thee, from whom his blessings flowed,
To thee, our Father and our God.

HYMN XL. L. M.

1 'Twas on that dark and doleful night,
When powers of earth and hell arose
Against the Son of God's delight,
And friends betrayed him to his foes:

2 Before the mournful scene began,
He took the bread, and bless'd, and brake:
What love through all his actions ran!
What wonderous words of grace he spake!

3 "This is my body, broke for sin;

Receive and eat the living food;"Then took the cup and bless'd the wine, "'Tis the new covenant in my

blood.

4 "In memory of your dying Lord,
Do this (said he) till time shall end;
Meet at my table and record
The love of your departed friend."

5 Jesus, thy feast we celebrate,

We show thy death, we sing thy name,
Till thou return and we shall eat
The marriage supper of the Lamb.

HYMN XLI. C. M.

1 WITH warm affection let us view,
With pious grief improve,

The solemn and impressive scene
Of Jesus' dying love.
