ADORATION AND PRAISE.
      Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
        But all their joys are one.
     2  1 Worthy the Lamb that died,’ they cry,
        1 To be exalted thus : ’
      ‘Worthy the Lamb,’ our lips reply,
        ‘ For he was slain for us.’
     3  Jesus is worthy to receive
        Honor and power divine ;
      And blessings more than we can give,
        Be, Lord, for ever thine.
     4  Let all that dwell below the sky,
        And air, and earth, and seas,
      Conspire to lift thy glories high,
        And speak thine endless praise.
     5  The whole creation join in one,
        To bless the sacred name
      Of him who sits upon the throne,
        And to adore the Lamb.

                JPrai.se to the Redeemer.
     1  DLUNGED in a gulf of dark despair
       A We wretched sinners lay;
      Without one cheering gleam of hope,
        Or spark of glimm’ring day.
     2  With pitying eyes the Prince of grace
        Beheld our helpless grief ;
      He saw, and—O, amazing love !
        He flew to our relief.
     3  Down from the shining courts above
        With joyful haste he fled,
      Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
        And dwelt among the dead.
