GLORIES OF CHRIST.
4 If what those words aver,
The Holy Ghost apply,
The simplest Christian shall not err,
Nor be deceived, nor die.
79 L. M.
Christ the bright and morning star.
1 VE worlds of light, that roll so near
* The Saviour’s throne of shining bliss,
O tell how mean your glories are,
How faint and few compared with his.
2 We sing the bright and morning star,
Jesus, the spring of light and love;
See how its rays diffused from far,
Conduct us to the realms above.
3 Its cheering beams, spread wide abroad,
Point out the puzzled Christian’s way;
Still as he goes, he finds the road
Enlightened with a constant day.
4 When shall we reach the heavenly place
Where this bright starshall brighter shin*;
Eeave far behind these scenes of night,
And view a lustre so divine ?
SO C. M.
Christ the head of the Church.
1 JESUS, I sing thy matchless grace
J That calls a worm thy own;
Give me among thy saints a place,
To make thy glories known.
2 Allied to thee, our vital Head,
We act, and grow, and thrive;
From thee divided, each is dead
When most lie seems alive.
