To love my God alone :
Give me, Lord, the grace to feel,
The length, and breadth, and depth, and height ;
Then thy glorious self reveal,
And turn my faith to sight.

1 TESU, my God and King,
•J Thy regal state I sing :
Thou, and only thou, art great,
High thine everlasting throne ;
Thou the sovereign Potentate,
Bless'd, immortal, thou alone.
2 Essay your choicest strains,
The King Messiah reigns !
Tune your harps, celestial choir,
Joyful all your voices raise ;
Christ, than earth-born monarchs higher,
Sons of men and angels praise.
3 Hail your dread Lord and ours,
Dominions, thrones, and powers !
Source of power, He rules alone :
Veil your eyes, and prostrate fall ;
Cast your crowns before his throne,
Hail the Cause, the Lord of all !
4 Let earth's remotest bound
With echoing joys resound ;
Christ to praise let all conspire ;
Praise doth all to Christ belong :
Shout, ye first-born sons of fire ;
Earth, repeat the glorious song.
5 Worthy, O Lord, art thou,
That every knee shall bow,
The Kingdom of Christ. b27
Every tongue to thee confess ;
Universal nature join,
Strong and mighty, thee to bless,
Gracious, merciful, benign.
6 Wisdom is due to thee,
And might, and majesty ;
Thee in mercy rich we prove ;
Glory, honour, praise receive ;
Worthy thou of all our love,
More than all we pant to give.
7 Justice and truth maintain
Thine everlasting reign :
One with thine almighty Sire,
Partner of an equal throne,
King of saints, let all conspire,
Gratefully thy sway to own.
Christ's Kingdom.
1 Y? ARTH, rejoice, our Lord is King !
*-^ Sons of men, his praises sing ;
Sing ye in triumphant strains,
Jesus our Messiah reigns !
2 Power is all to Jesus given,
Lord of hell, and earth, and heaven!
Every knee to him shall bow ;
Satan, hear, and tremble now!
3 Angels and archangels join,
All triumphantly combine ;
All in Jesu's praise agree,
Carrying on his victory.
4 Though the sons of night blaspheme,
More there are with us than them :
God with us, we cannot fear ;
Fear, ye fiends, for Christ is here !
