MAITLAND,

G. N. ALLEN.

2 THE highest place that heaven affords Is his by sovereign right;

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns in glory bright.

3. Jesus, the joy of all above!

The joy of all below,

To whom he manifests his love,

And grants his name to know

4. To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy-the joy of heaven.

5. To them the cross is life and health,
Though shame and death to him:
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

4. Here pardon, life, and joys divine, In rich effusion flow,

For guilty rebels lost in sin,

And doomed to endless woe. 5. Come, heavenly love, inspire my song, With thy immortal flame,

And teach my heart, and teach my tongue. The Saviour's lovely name.

161.

The Suffering Saviour exalted.

1. HE, who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.

2. His hands the wheels of nature guide With an unerring skill;

And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.

3. While harps unnumbered sound his praise In yonder world above,

His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.

4. When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,

And find a pleasing shade.
5. How glorious he! how happy they,
In such a glorious friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end.

"Over all, God blessed forever."

1. CROWN his head with endless blessing, Who, in God the Father's name, With compassions never ceasing, Comes salvation to proclaim.

2. Lo! Jehovah, we adore thee;

Thee, our Saviour; thee, our God! From his throne his beams of glory Shine through all the world abroad. 3. Jesus, thee our Saviour hailing

Thee, our God, in praise we own; Highest honors, never failing,

Rise eternal round thy throne.

4. Now, ye saints, his power confessing,
In your grateful strains adore;
For his mercy, never ceasing,
Flows, and flows for evermore.

2. When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me :
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.

3. When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming,
Adds new luster to the day.

4. Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there, that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

5. In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wreck of time;
All the light of sacred story

Gathers round its head sublime.

Doxology.

PRAISE the God of our salvation, Praise the Father's boundless love; Praise the Lamb, our expiation;

Praise the Spirit from above:

Praise the Fountain of salvation,
Him by whom our spirits live;
Undivided adoration

To the one Jehovah give!

And break the chains of reigning sin;
All our imperious lusts subdue,
And form our wretched hearts anew.

And fit me to approach my God;
Remove each vain, each worldly thought,
And lead me to thy blest abode.

And calm the surges of the mind.

Whose power and grace are unconfined,
Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
The thicker darkness of the mind.

The glorious truths thy word reveals; Cause me to run the heavenly way; The book unfold, and loose the seals.

And excellence of things above.

And guide my feeble steps to God!

And let me now my Saviour see; Oh, soothe and cheer my burdened heart, And bid my spirit rest in thee.
