Ye angels, dwell upon the sound! Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground!] 60 may I live to reach the place

Where he unveils his lovely face, Where all his beauties you behold, And sing his name to harps of gold!

A New Song to the Lamb that was Slain.- Rev. v. 6-12. BEHOLD the glories of the Lamb, Amidst his Father's throne; Prepare new honors for his name, And songs before unknown. 2 Let elders worship at his feet; The church adore around; With vials full of odors sweet, And harps of sweeter sound. 3 Those are the prayers of the saints, And these the hymns they raiseJesus is kind to our complaints, He loves to hear our praise.

4[ Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret will?

Who but the Son shall take that book, And open every seal?

Lo! in his hands the sovereign keys Of heaven, and death, and hell.]

6 Now to the Lamb that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid;

Salvation, glory, joy remain

For ever on thy head.

7 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood, Hast set the prisoners free,
