2. Now all His Christians can rejoice And sing His praise with cheerful voice: Glory to God in heaven’s high throne, Our Brother is God’s only Son. Hallelujah! 3. Ascended to His throne on high, He yet to us is always nigh; As God and man He ever reigns And infinite in power remains. Hallelujah! 4. Above all heavens in glory raised, Forever by all angels praised, All human beings rules our Lord, All creatures must obey His word. Hallelujah! 5. He rules and reigns at God’s right hand And has all power at His command, All things are subject to His rod— The Son of man and Son of God. Hallelujah! 6. The world, sin, Satan, death, and hell Are vanquished by Immanuel. Dispute who will His mighty reign, He still the Victor must remain. Hallelujah! 7. The man who trusts in Him is blest And finds in Him eternal rest; This world’s allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes. Hallelujah! 8. We trust in Him, our Lord and God, Who hath redeemed us by His blood; He captive led captivity, From bitter death to set us free. Hallelujah! 9. We, therefore, heartily rejoice And sing His praise with cheerful voice: Our Brother, our own flesh and blood, Is God and King, our greatest Good. Hallelujah! 10. Through Him we heirs of heaven are made; O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid That we may firmly trust in Thee And live through Thee eternally. Hallelujah! 11. Amen, Amen, O Lord! we cry; Do Thou, who art exalted high, In Thy pure doctrine keep our hearts And shield us from the devil’s arts. Hallelujah! Praetorius’s _Musae Sioniae_, 1607. INTERCESSION. 240 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8 (H. M.) Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2. He ever lives above For me to intercede, His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3. Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me; Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die! 4. The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One; He cannot turn away, Cannot refuse His Son; His Spirit answers to the blood And tells me I am born of God. 5. My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear; With confidence I now draw nigh And “Father, Abba, Father!” cry.
