4 A spirit still prepar'd, And arm'd with jealous care, pray I want, Out of the deep on thee to call, 5 I want a true regard, For thine immortal praise; I rest upon thy word, The promise is for me; But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till thou my patient spirit guide Into thy perfect love. Hymn 63. P. M. HELP, Lord, to whom for help I fly, And still my tempted soul stand by, Throughout the evil day; The sacred watchfulness impart, And sanctifying fear. 3 Whene'er my careless hands hang down, 4 If near the pit I rashly stray, The keen conviction dart! Recall me with that pitying look, That kind upbraiding glance, which broke Unfaithful Peter's heart. 5 In me thine utmost mercy show, Ready prepar'd and fitted here, JES Hymn 64. L. M. ESUS, my Saviour, Brother, Friend, 2 If I have tasted of thy grace, The grace that sure salvation brings; If with me now thy Spirit stays, And hov'ring, hides me in his wings: 3 Still let him with my weakness stay, Nor for a moment's space depart; Evil and danger turu away, And keep, till he renews my heart. 4 When to the right or left I stray, His voice behind me may I hear, "Return, and walk in Christ thy way, 66 Fly back to Christ, for sin is near." 5 His sacred unction from above Be still my comforter and guide, And in my loving heart reside.

G Hymn 67. S. M. OD of almighty love, By whose sufficient grace, I lift my heart to things above, And humbly seek thy face: 2 3 Through Jesus Christ the just, And let me in thy goodness trust, Thy glory be my aim; My off'rings all be offer'd through The ever-blessed name. Jesus, my single eye Be fix'd on thee alone: Thy name be prais'd on earth, on high; Thy will by all be done. Spirit of faith, inspire My consecrated heart: Fill me with pure celestial fire, With all thou hast and art. My feeble mind transform, And perfectly renew'd, Into a saint exalt a worm; Hymn 68. S. M.
