A " Sit thou, in glory sit,
Till I thine enemies have made
To bow beneath thy feet."
2 Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
What can my hopes withstand,
While thee my Advocate I have,
Enthroned at God's right hand ?
3 Nature is subject to thy word ;
All power to thee is given,
The uncontroll'd, almighty Lord
Of hell, and earth, and heaven.
4 And shall my sins thy will oppose ?
Master, thy right maintain !
O let not thy usurping foes
In me thy servant reign !
5 Come, then, and claim me for thine own ;
Saviour, thy right assert !
Come, gracious Lord, set up thy throne,
And reign within my heart !
6 So shall I ijless thy pleasing sway ;
And, sitting at thy feet,
Thy laws with all my heart obey.
With all my soul submit.
7 So shall I do thy will below,
As angels do above ;
The virtue of thy passion show,
The triumphs of thy low
For Believers Fighting. 263
8 Thy love the conquest more than gains ;
To all I shall proclaim,
" Jesus, the King, the Conqueror reigns ;
Bow down to Jesu's Name."
9 To thee shall earth and hell submit,
And every foe shall fall,
Till death expires beneath thy feet,
And God is all in all

1 A^70RSHIP, and thanks, and blessing,
* * And strength ascribe to Jesus !
Jesus alone Defends his own,
When earth and hell oppress us.
Jesus with joy we witness
Almighty to deliver ;
Our seals set to, That God is true,
And reigns a King for ever.
2 Omnipotent Redeemer,
Our ransom' d souls adore thee :
Our Saviour thou, We find it now,
And give thee all the glory.
We sing thine arm unshorten'd,
Brought through our sore temptation ;
With heart and voice In thee rejoice,
The God of our salvation.
3 Thine arm hath safely brought us
A way no more expected,
Than when thy sheep Pass'd through the deep,
By crystal walls protected.
Thy glory was our rear-ward,
Thine hand our lives did cover,
And we, even we, Have pass'd the sea.
And march'd triumphant over

4 The world's and Satan's malice
Thou, Jesus, hast confounded ;
And, hy thy grace, With songs of praise
