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. On Miscellaneous Subjects. 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 ;
