HYMN 101. C. M. Braintree.

The Resurrection. 1 Cor. xv. 52–58.

1 When the last trumpet's awful voice
This rending earth shall shake—
When opening graves shall yield their charge,
And dust to life awake;—

2 Those bodies, that corrupted fell,
Shall incorrupted rise;

And mortal forms shall spring to life,
Immortal in the skies.

3 Behold, what heav'nly prophets sung,
Is now at last fulfill'd—

That death should yield his ancient reign,
And, vanquish'd quit the field.

4 Let faith exalt her joyful voice,
And thus begin to sing;

Oh grave! where is thy triumph now?
And where, O death! thy sting!

5 "Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt;
"Twas this that arm'd thy dart;

The law gave sin its strength, and force,
To pierce the sinner's heart."

6 "But God, whose name be ever blest;
Disarms that foe we dread;

And makes us conqu'rors when we die,
Through Christ our living head."

HYMN 102. 8s. 7s, & 4's. Tamworth.

The day of Judgment.

1 Day of judgment, day of wonders! Hark the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders,

Shakes the vast creation round!

How the summons

Will the sinner's heart confound!

2 See the Judge our nature wearing,
Cloth'd in majesty divine!
You who long for his appearing,
Then shall say, "This God is mine:"
Gracious Saviour!

Own me in that day for thine.

3 At his call the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea,
All the pow'rs of nature, shaken
By his looks prepare to flee:
Careless sinner!

What will then become of thee?

4 Horrors past imagination,

Will surprise your trembling heart,

When

condemnation,

hear your
you
"Hence, accursed wretch! depart;
"Thou with Satan

"And his angels, have thy part!"

5 But to those who have confess'd,
Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below;
He will say, "Come near, ye blessed!
"See the kingdom I bestow:
"You forever

"Shall my love and glory know."

6 Under sorrow and reproaches,
May this thought our courage raise:
Swiftly God's great day approaches—
Sighs shall then be chang'd to praise;
We shall triumph-

When the world is in a blaze.

DOXOLOGIES.

L. M.

1 Bless'd be the Father and his love,
To which celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood—
Pardon and life for dying souls!

3 We give thee, sacred Spirit, praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and wo,
Mak'st living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.

4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, we adore;
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom or a shore.

L. M.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honor, praise, and glory giv'n,
By all on earth, and all in heav'n.

Now let the Father, and the Son,
And Spirit be ador'd;

Where there are works to make him known,

Or saints to love the Lord.
