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;
A worm exalt to God."

1 NORTH in thy name, O Lord, I go, My daily labour to pursue; Thee, only thee resolv'd to know, In all I think, or speak, or do.

The task thy wisdom hath assign'd, ́
O let me cheerfully fulfil!

In all my works thy presence find,
And prove thy acceptable will.

3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see;
And labour on at thy command,
And offer all my works to thee.

4 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to thy glorious day!

& For thee delightfully employ Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath giv❜n,

And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee to heav

And serve his pleasure still. baa
Faithful to my Lord's commands,
I still would choose the better part:
Serve with careful Martha's hands,
And loving Mary's heart.

Nor feel my happy toil;

Supported by his smile;
Joyful thus my faith to show,
I find his service my reward; as y
Every work I do below,

I do it to the Lord.

Dost all my burdens bear!
Lift my heart to things above,

Sweetly waiting at thy feet,
Till all thy will be done.

Of all who seek the land above,
Beneath thy shadow we abide,

The cloud of thy protecting love: Our strength thy grace, our rule thy word,

Our end, the glory of the Lord.

We shall not in the desert stray We shall not full direction need; Nor miss our providential way; As far from danger as from fear, While love, almighty love, is near.

The pure, celestial fire to' impart
Kindle a flame of sacred love
On the mean altar of my heart.

There, let it for thy glory burn, A
With inextinguishable blaze;
And trembling to its source return,
In humble love and fervent praise

To work, and speak, and think for

Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up thy gift in me.

My acts of faith and love repeat,
Till death thy endless mercies seal,
And make the sacrifice complete.

XHEN quiet in my house I sit,

W Thy book be my companion still; My joy, thy sayings to repeat,

Talk o'er the records of thy will,
And search the oracles divine,
Till every heart-felt word be mine.
2 O may the gracious words divine,
Subject of all my converse be:
80 will the Lord his follower join,
And walk and talk himself with me:
So shall my heart his presence prove,
And burn with everlasting love.

Oft as I lay me down to rest,
O may the reconciling word
Sweetly compose my weary breast!
While on the bosom of my Lord,
I sink in blissful dreams away,
And visions of eternal day.

4 Rising to sing my Saviour's praise,
Thee may I publish all day long;
And let thy precious word of grace
Flow from my heart, and fill my
tongue;

Fill all my life with purest love,

1 THEE, Jesus, full of truth and grace, Thee, Saviour, we adore;

Thee in affliction's furnace praise,
And magnify thy power.

2 Thy power in human weakness shewn, Shall make us all entire;

We now thy guardian presence own,
And walk unburnt in fire.

And glory in our guide!

Surrounded and upheld by thee,
The fiery test abide.

Till, moulded from above,
We bear the character divine,
The stamp of perfect love.

1 AVIOUR of all, what hast thou done,

Why did'st thou groan thy mortal groan,
Obedient unto death for me?
The mystery of thy passion show,
The end of all thy griefs below.

2 Thy soul, for sin an offering made,
Hath clear'd this guilty soul of mine:
Thou hast for me a ransom paid,
To change my human to divine:
