6 Prophet, to me reveal Thy Father's perfect will : Never mortal spake like thee, Human Prophet like divine ; Loud and strong their voices be, Small, and still, and inward thine ! 7 On thee, my Priest, I call, Thy blood atoned for all : Still the Lamb as slain appears, Still thou stand'st before the throne$ Ever offering up my prayers, These presenting with thine own. 8 Jesus, thou art my King, From thee my strength I bring : Shadow' d by thy mighty hand, Saviour, who shall pluck me thence ? Faith supports ; by faith I stand, Strong in thy omnipotence. HYMN 194. 2-6's £ 4-7'*. 1 A RISE, my soul, arise, -*"*- Thy Saviour's Sacrifice ! All the names that love could find, All the forms that love could take, Jesus in himself hath join'd, Thee, my soul, his own to make. 2 Equal with God Most High, He laid his glory by ; He, the' eternal God, was born, Man with men he deign'd to' appear, Object of his creature's scorn, Pleased a servant's form to wear. 3 Hail ! everlasting Lord, Divine, incarnate Word ! For Believers Rejoicing. 191 Thee let all my powers confess ; Thee ray latest breath proclaim ; Help, ye angel- choirs, to bless. Shout the loved Immanuel's name ! Fruit of a virgin's womb, The promised Blessing 's come ; Christ, the fathers' hope of old, Christ, the woman's conquering Seed, Christ, the Saviour long foretold, Born to bruise the serpent's head. Jesus, to thee I bow ! The' Almighty's Fellow thou ! Thou, the Father's only Son ; Pleased he ever is in thee ; Just and holy thou alone, Full of grace and truth for me. HYMN 195. 2-6V §• 4-7's. HIGH above every name, Jesus, the Great I AM ! Bows to Jesus every knee, Things in heaven, and earth, and hell ; Saints adore him, demons flee, Fiends, and men, and angels feel ! He left his throne above, Emptied of all but love : Whom the heavens cannot contain, God, vouchsafed a worm to' appear, Lord of Glory, Son of Man, Poor, and vile, and abject here. His own on earth he sought, His own received him not ; Him a sign by all blasphemed, Outcast and despised of men, \v*2 For JB el levers Rejoicing.
