Receive the King of Glory in !
Who is the King of Glory ? Who ?
The Lord that all our foes o'ercame ;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew ;
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name.
3 Lo ! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay :
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates ;
Ye everlasting doors, give way !
Who is the King of Glory ? Who ?
The Lord, of glorious power possess'd ;
The King of saints, and angels too,
God over all for ever bless'd !
HYMN 555. 7's.
On the Second Coming of Christ.
1 /^OME, Desire of nations, come !
^^ Hasten, Lord, the general doom !
Hear the Spirit and the Bride ;
Come, and take us to thy side.
2 Thou, who hast our place prepared,
Make us meet for our reward ;
Then with all thy saints descend ;
Then our earthly trials end.
3 Mindful of thy chosen race,
Shorten these vindictive days ;
Who for full redemption groan,
Hear us now, and save thine own.
4 Now destroy the man of sin ;
Now thine ancient flock bring in !
Fill'd with righteousness divine,
Claim a ransom'd world for thine.
5 Plant thy heavenly kingdom here ;
Glorious in thy saints appear ;
jldditional Hymns. O J /
Speak the sacred number seal'd ;
Speak the mystery reveal'd.
6 Take to thee thy royal power ;
Reign, when sin shall be no more ;
Reign, when death no more shall be;
Reign to all eternity.

HYMN 556. Ts^&s.
TO the hills I lift mine eyes,
The everlasting hills ;
Streaming thence in fresh supplies,
My soul the Spirit feels :
Will he not his help afford ?
Help, while yet I ask, is given ;
God comes down ; the God and Lord
That made both earth and heaven.
Faithful soul, pray always ; pray,
And still in God confide ;
He thy feeble steps shall stay,
Nor suffer thee to slide :
Lean on thy Redeemer's breast ;
He thy quiet spirit keeps ;
Rest in him, securely rest ;
Thy Watchman never sleeps.
Neither sin, nor earth, nor hell
Thy keeper can surprise ;
Careless slumbers cannot steal
On his all-seeing eyes ;
He is Israel's sure defence ;
