Glory, honour, praise, and power, &c. 3 Salvation ! O thou bleeding Lamb, To thee the praise belongs ; Salvation shall inspire our hearts, And dwell upon our tongues : Glory, honour, praise, and power, &c. HYMN 703. Ts §• 6V " Every knee shall hnw, and every tongue confess unto him." 1 O AVIOUR, whom our hearts adore, ^ To bless our earth again, Now assume thy royal power, And o'er the nations reign : OOo The Kingdom Christ, the world's desire and hope, Power complete to thee is given ; Set the last great empire up, Eternal Lord of heaven. 2 Where they all thy laws have spurn 'd, Thy holiest name profaned, Where the ruin'd world hath mourn 'd With hlood of millions slain ; Open there the' ethereal scene, Claim the heathen tribes for thine • There the endless reign begin With majesty divine. 3 Universal Saviour, thou Wilt all thy creatures bless ; Every knee to thee shall bow, And every tongue confess : None shall in thy mount destroy ; War shall then be learnt no more : Saints shall their great King enjoy, And all mankind adore. 4 Then, according to thy word, Salvation is reveal'd ; With thy glorious knowledge, Lord, The new-made earth is fill'd : Then we sound the mystery, The depths and heights of Godhead prove, Swallow'd up in mercy's sea, For ever lost in love. HYMN 704. l. m. 6 And He beheld the multitude as sheep having no shepherd." 1 TESU, thy wandering sheep behold ! *J See, Lord, with yearning bowels see, The souls that cannot find the fold, Till sought and gather'd in by thee. of Christ. 639 2 Lost are they now, and scatter'd wide, In pain, and weariness, and want; With no kind shepherd near to guide The sick, and spiritless, and faint. 3 Thou, only thou, the kind and good And sheep-redeeming Shepherd art : Collect thy flock, and give them food, And pastors after thine own heart. Give the pure word of general grace, And great shall be the preachers' crowd ; Preachers, who all the sinful race Point to the all-atoning blood. 5 Open their mouth, and utterance give ; Give them a trumpet-voice, to call On all mankind to turn and live, Through faith in Him who died for all. 6 Thy only glory let them seek ;
