HYMN 18. Third Part. L.M.
The presence, glory, and power of Christ.

1	WITH transport, Lord, our souls proclaim Th' immortal honours of thy name; Altho' ascended to thy throne, Thou still art present with thine own.
2	High on his Father's royal seat, Our Jesus shone divinely great; Ere Adam's clay with life was warm'd, Or Gabriel's nobler spirit form'd.
3	Thro' all succeeding ages, he The same hath been — the same shall be; Immortal radiance gilds his head, While stars and suns wax old, and fade.
4	The same his pow'r his flock to guard; The same his bounty to reward: The same his faithfulness and love, To saints on earth and saints above.
5	Let nature charge, and sink, and die; Jesus shall raise his chosen high; And fix them near his heav'nly throne, In glory changeless as his own.

HYMN 19. First Part. L.M.
He sitteth at the right hand of God.

1	JESUS the Lord our souls adore, A painful suff'rer now no more; At the right hand of God he reigns O'er earth, and heav'n's extensive plains.
2	His race for ever is complete; For ever undisturb'd his seat; Myriads of angels round him fly, And sing his well-gain'd victory.
3	Yet 'midst the honours of his throne, He joys not for himself alone;

He sitteth at the right hand of God. (cont.)

3	His meanest servants share their part, Share in that royal tender heart.
4	Raise, raise, my soul, thy raptur'd sight With sacred wonder and delight; Jesus at God's right hand now see, Enter'd within the veil for thee.

HYMN 19. Second Part. C.M.
Jesus our vital head.

1	JESUS, we sing thy matchless grace,    That calls poor worms thy own; Gives us among thy saints a place,    To make thy glories known.
2	Allied to thee our vital head    We live, and grow, and thrive: From thee divided, each is dead,    When most he seems alive.
3	Thy saints on earth, and those above,    Here join in sweet accord: One body all in mutual love.    And thou, our common Lord.
4	May faith from thee each hour derive    Supplies with fresh delight; While death and hell in vain shall strive    This bond to disunite.
5	Thou the whole body wilt present    Before thy Father's face; Nor shall a wrinkle or a spot    Its beauteous form disgrace.

HYMN 19. Third Part. L.M.
Christ will come to judge the world.

1	NOW to the Lord that made us know The wonders of his dying love, Be humble honours paid below, And strains of nobler praise above.
