2 Speak the second time, "Be clean!"
Take away my inbred sin :
Every stumbling-block remove;
Cast it out by perfect love.

3 Nothing less will I require,
Nothing more can I desire:
None but Christ to me be given;
None but Christ in earth or heaven.

4 O that I might now decrease!

O that all I am might cease!
Let me into nothing fall!
Let my Lord be all in all!

Hymn 106. C. M.

1LORD believe a restorem

ORD, I believe a rest remains

A rest where pure enjoyinent reigns;
And thou art lov'd alone.

2 A rest where all our soul's desire
Is fix'd on things above,

Where fear, and sin, and grief expire, Cast out by perfect love.

3 O that I now the rest might know,
Believe and enter in!

Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.

4 Remove this hardness from my heart, This unbelief remove;

To me the rest of faith impart,
The sabbath of thy love.

5 I would be thine, thou know'st I would,
And have thee all my own;
Thee, O my all-sufficient good,
I want, and thee alone.

6 Thy name to me, thy nature grant!
This, only this be given;
Nothing beside my God

want,

Nothing in earth or heaven.

7 Come, O my Saviour, come away,
Into my soul descend!

No longer from thy creature stay,
My author and my end!

8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
And seal me thine abode;

1

Let all I am in thee be lost,
Let all be lost in God!

Hymn 107.

C. M.

JOYFUL sound of gospel grace,
Christ shall in me appear;

I, even I shall see his face,

I shall be holy here.

2 The glorious crown of righteousness, To me reach'd out, I view :

[ocr errors]

Conqu❜ror through him I soon shall seize,
And wear it as my due.

3 The promis'd land from Pisgah's top
I now exult to see:

My hope is full (O glorious hope)
Of immortality!

4 He visits now this house of clay;
He shakes his future home:

O wouldst thou, Lord, in this glad day, Into thy temple come!

5 With me I know, I feel thou art,
But this cannot suffice,

Unless thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise.

6 My earth thou water'st from on high; But make it all a pool :

Spring up, O well, I ever cry, within my soul.

Spring up

7 Come, O my God, thyself reveal!
Fill all this mighty void:
Thou only canst my spirit fill,
Come, O my God, my God!

8 Fulfil, fulfil my large desires,
Large as infinity;

1

Give, give me all my soul requires,
All, all that is in thee!

Hymn 108. C. M.

ESUS hath died that I might live,

J Might live to God alone!

In him eternal life receive,

And be in spirit one.

[ocr errors]

2 Saviour, I thank thee for the grace,
The gift unspeakable;

And wait with arms of faith t' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.

3 My soul breaks out in strong desire,
The perfect bliss to prove;

My longing heart is all on fire,
To be dissolv'd in love.

4 Give me thyself, from every boast,
From every sin set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
But give thyself to me.

5 Thy gifts, alas! cannot suffice,
Unless thyself be given;

Thy presence makes my paradise;
And where thou art is heaven.

Hymn 109.

P. M.

Those love hath gently led me on,
HOU great mysterious God unknown,

E'en from my infant days;
Mine inmost soul expose to view,
And tell me if I ever knew
Thy justifying grace.

2 If I have only known thy fear,
And follow'd with a heart sincere
Thy drawing from above!
Now, now the further grace bestow,
And let my sprinkled conscience know
Thy sweet forgiving love.

3 Short of thy love I would not stop,
A stranger to the gospel hope,
The sense of sin forgiven;

I would not, Lord, my soul deceive,
Without thy inward witness live,
That antepast of heaven.

4 If now the witness were in me,
Would he not testify of thee,
In Jesus reconcil'd?

And should I not with faith draw nigh,
And boldly, Abba, Father, cry,
I know myself thy child?

5 Ah! never let thy servant rest,
Till of my part in Christ possess'd:
I on thy mercy feed:

Unworthy of the crumbs that fall,
Yet rais'd by him who died for all,
To eat the children's bread.

6 Whate'er obstructs thy pard'ning love,
Or sin, or righteousness, remove,
Thy glory to display;
My heart of unbelief convince,
And now absolve me from my sins,
And take them all away.

Hymn 110. L. M.

MT Phee, lo? now my soul I bow;

Y hope, my all, my Saviour thou,

I feel the bliss thy wounds impart,
I find thee, Saviour, in my heart.

2 Be thou my strength, be thou my way,
Protect me through my life's short day:
In all my acts may wisdom guide,
And keep me, Saviour, near thy side.
3 Correct, reprove, and comfort me;
As I have need, my Saviour be:
And if I would from thee depart,
Then clasp me, Saviour, to thy heart.
4 In fierce temptation's darkest hour,
Save me from sin and Satan's power;
