TITLES OF OUR SAVIOUR.

WHO can tell in simple story What “the BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY” Through the riches of his grace Did to save our fallen race? —Heb. 1:3.

When earth's corner-stone was laid, When the universe was made, When the courts of Heaven rung With the songs the angels sung, He was the BEGINNING then— Prince of angels and of men. —Rev. 1:8; 3:14.

But he left the realms above, Came to earth on wings of love, Took our nature and our place, As the BRANCH of Jesse's race. —Jer. 23:5.

Here he magnified the law, Bade its shadows all withdraw, And became “the living BREAD,” Broken in the sinner's stead. —John 6:51.

From the sepulcher he rose, Vanquished death and all his foes, Then to Heaven, in sight of men, Our BELOVED went again. —Eph. 1:6.

Seated on his Father's throne He will ne'er forget his own, But will them protect, control, As the BISHOP of their soul. —1 Pet. 2:25.

When as BRIDEGROOM he shall come, And with tongues no longer dumb, All the ransomed of our race Praise him for his glorious grace, May our lot be with “the bride,” By the heavenly Bridegroom's side! —Matt. 9:15.
