The blessings of Thy grace impart,

And make me live to Thee.

3. Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine, My life and death attend;

Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey's end!"

CXXIV.

ON THE MOUNTAIN-TOP.

See Isa. lii. 7.

Words and Music by Rev. T. Kelly.

1. ON the mountain-top appearing
Lo, the sacred herald stands!
Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion long in hostile lands.
Mourning captive!

God himself will loose thy bands.

2. Hath thy night been long and mournful; All thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy tears or sighs unmoved?

Cease thy mourning :

Zion still is well beloved.

3. Lo, thy Sun is risen in glory,

God Himself appears thy friend!
All thy foes shall sink before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end.
Great deliverance

Zion's King vouchsafes to send.

CXXV.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
John x. 10.

Words and Music by Rev. T. Kelly.

1. O THOU great Shepherd of the sheep, Thy little flock' in safety keep :

The flock for which thou camest from

heaven;

The flock for which thy life was given !

2. Thou sawest them wandering far from thee,

Secure, as though from danger free:
Thy love did all their wanderings trace,
And bring them to a resting place."

3. Guard still thy flock from beasts of prey, And keep them that they never stray;

Cherish

Cherish the young, sustain the old;
Let none be feeble in Thy fold.

4. Conceal them from the scorching beam,
And lead them to the living stream:
In verdant pastures let them lie,

And watch them with a shepherd's eye. 5. O may thy flock discern thy voice, And in its sacred sound rejoice! From strangers may they ever flee, And know no other guide but thee! 6. Bring home thy sheep that wander yet, And let the number be complete: Then let them from this earth remove, To occupy thy fold above!

CXXVI.

JESUS, KING OF KINGS.

On Rev. xix. 16.

Music, St. Asaph.

Words by Rev. T. Kelly.

1. WHENCE those unusual bursts of joy, Whose sound through heaven rings?

They welcome JESUS to the sky,
And crown him KING OF KINGS.

2. At sight of Him the seraphs bright Exulting clap their wings;

They hail their Lord with new delight,
And crown Him KING OF KINGS.

3. To Him who bore our sin and shame
High heaven its tribute brings;

'Tis meet we should exalt that name.
And crown Him KING OF KINGS.

4. We hope e'er long, beyond those clouds, To tune celestial strings:

And join with heaven's exulting crouds
To crown Him KING OF KINGS.

CXXVII.

MY HEART IS FIXED.

See Psalm 108.

Music and Words by Rev. T. Kelly. 1. GRACIOUS Lord, my heart is fixed, Sing I will and sing of thee:

Since the cup that justice mixed

Thou hast drank, and drank for me:

It is finish'd!

Thou hast set thy prisoner free.

Many

2. Many were the chains that bound me ;

But the Lord hath loosed them all:
Arms of mercy now surround me :
Favours these nor few nor small.
Saviour keep me:

Keep thy servant lest he fall!

3. Fair the scene that lies before me;
Life eternal Jesus gives:

While he spreads his banner o'er me
Peace and joy my soul receives.
Sure His promise!

I shall live because He lives.

4. When the world would bid me leave Thee,
Telling me of shame and loss;
Saviour guard me lest I grieve thee,
Lest I cease to love Thy cross.
Sure thy promise!

All the rest I count but dross.
