GEORIES OF CHRIST.
n l. m.
Jesus yesterday, to-day, and forever the same.
1 LT IGH on his Father’s royal seat,
1 1 Our Jesus shone divinely great,
Ere Adam’s clay with life was warmed,
Or Gabriel’s nobler spirit formed.
2 Through all succeeding ages he
The same hath been—the same shall be;
Immortal radiance gilds his head,
While stars and sun wax old and fade.
3 The same his power his flock to guard,
The same his bounty to reward,
The same his faithfulness and love,
To saints on earth and saints above.
4 Eet nature change, and sink, and die,
Jesus shall raise his chosen high,
And fix them near his stable throne
In glory changeless as his own.

The Builder.
J f->HRIST plans the temple of the Eora,
And all the building rears,
And, be his holy name adored,
He all the glory bears.
2 The vast materials all he forms,
Nor love nor pow’er he spares;
He guards the building from all harms,
And all the glory bears.
3 In this blest building may my soul
A living stone appear,
And h^, the builder of the whole
Shall all the glory bear.
