By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. Psalm xxiv.
      1 THE earth with all her fulness own
      Jehovah for her sovereign Lord;
      The countless myriads of her sons
      Rose into being at his word.

      2 His word did out of nothing call
      The world, and founded all that is;
      Launched on the floods this solid ball,
      And fixed it in the floating seas.

      3 But who shall quit this low abode,
      Who shall ascend the heavenly place,
      And stand upon the mount of God,
      And see his Maker face to face?

      4 The man whose hands and heart are clean
      That blessed portion shall receive;
      Whoe'er by grace is saved from sin,
      Hereafter shall in glory live.

      5 He shall obtain the starry crown;
      And, numbered with the saints above,
      The God of his salvation own,
      The God of his salvation love. ==L.M. SECOND PART.

      6 OUR Lord is risen from the dead!
      Our Jesus is gone up on high!
      The powers of hell are captive led,
      Dragged to the portals of the sky;

      7 There his triumphal chariot waits,
      And angels chant the solemn lay:
      Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
      Ye everlasting doors, give way!

      8 Loose all your bars of massy light,
      And wide unfold the ethereal scene;
      He claims these mansions as his right
      Receive the King of glory in!

      9 Who is this 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.

      10 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
      And angels chant the solemn lay:
      Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
      Ye everlasting doors give way!

      11 Who is this King of glory? Who?
      The Lord, of glorious power possessed;
      The King of saints, and angels too,
      God over all, for ever blessed!
