* To cleanse from all iniquity,

And make the sinner all like thee.

3 Pardon, and grace, and heaven to buy,
My bleeding Sacrifice expir'd:
But didst thou not my PATTERN die,
That by thy glorious Spirit fir'd,
Faithful to death I might endure,
And make the crown by suffering sure!

4 Thou didst the meek example leave, That I might in thy footsteps tread; Might, like the Man of Sorrows, grieve, And groan, and bow with thee my head:

Thy dying in my body bear,

And all thy state of suffering share.

5 Thy every suffering servant, Lord, Shall as his perfect Master be: To all thy inward life restor❜d,

1

And outwardly conform'd to thee: Out of thy grave the saint shall rise, And grasp through death, the glorious prize!

This is the straight, the royal way.
That leads us to the courts above:
Here let me ever, ever stay,

Till on the wings of perfect love,
I take my last, triumphant flight,
From Calvary's to Sion's height.

HYMN 331.

[C. M.]

THOU, Lord, hast blest my going out bless my coming in!

Compass my weakness round about,
And keep me safe from sin.

2 Still hide me in thy secret place,
Thy tabernacle spread;

Shelter me with preserving grace,
And screen my naked head.

I run,

3 To THEE for refuge may
From sin's alluring snare:
Ready its first approach to shun,
And watching unto prayer.

4 O that I never, never more

[ocr errors]

Might from thy ways depart! Here let me give my wanderings o'er ***By giving thee my heart.

3 Fix my new heart on things above, And then from earth release;

1

I ask not life, but let me love,"
And lay me down in peace.

HYMN 332.

[ó lines 8's.]

M Thine, wholly thine, I long to be!

ASTER, I own thy lawful claim,

Thou seest, at last, I willing am

Where'er thou goest, to follow thee: Myself in all things to deny!

Thine, wholly thine, to live and die. 2 Whate'er my sinful flesh requires, For thee I cheerfully forego; My covetous and vain desires, My hopes of happiness below; My senses' and my passions' food, And all my thirst for creature good.

3 Pleasure, and wealth, and praise no

more

Shall lead my captive soul astray; My fond pursuits I all give o'er, Thee, only thee, resolv'd to' obey:

My own in all things to resign,
And know no other will but thine.

4 All power is thine in earth and heaven,
All fulness dwells in thee alone:
Whate'er I have was freely given;
Nothing but sin I call my own:
Other propriety disclaim:
Thou only art the great I AM.

5 Wherefore to thee I all resign:

Being thou art, and Love, and Power: Thy only Will be done, not mine!

Thee, Lord, let heaven and earth
adore!

Flow back the rivers to the sea,
And let our all be lost in thee!

HYMN 333.

[4 lines 8's & 2-6's.]

NOME on, my partners in distress, My comrades thro' the wilderness, Who still your bodies feel; Awhile forget your griefs and fears, And look beyond this vale of tears, To that celestial hill.

2 Beyond the bounds of time and space Look forward to that heavenly place, The saints' secure abode :

On faith's strong eagle pinions rise,
And force your passage to the skies,
And scale the mount of God.

3 Who suffer with our Master here,
We shall before his face appear,
And by his side sit down:

To patient faith the prize is sure:
And all that, to the end endure

The cross, shall wear the crown.

4 Thrice blessed bliss-inspiring hope!
It lifts the fainting spirits up;
It brings to life the dead:
Our conflicts here shall soon be past,
And you and I ascend at last,
Triumphant with our Head.

✔ That great mysterious Deity,
We soon with open face shall see,
The beatific sight:

Shall fill heaven's sounding courts with
praise,

And wide diffuse the golden blaze
Of everlasting light.

6 The Father shining on his throne,
The glorious, co-eternal Son,
The Spirit, One and Seven
Conspire our rapture to complete;
And, lo, we fall before his feet,
And silence heightens heaven.

7 In hope of that ecstatic pause, Jesus, we now sustain the cross, And at thy footstool fall;

1

Till thou our hidden life reveal!
Till thou our ravish'd spirits fill,
And God be All in All!

HYMN 334. [4 lines 8's & 2-6's.)

ORD, I adore thy gracious will,
Through every instrument of ill,
My Father's goodness see;

Accept the complicated wrong
Of Shimei's hand, and Shimei's tongue,
As kind rebukes from thee.

Of my redeeming Lord,

I shall his salvation see,

According to his word:

Credence to his word I give, oorgest My Saviour in distresses past, A Will not now his servant leave, But bring me through at last.

2 Better than my boding fears To me thon oft hast prov'd; Oft observ'd my silent tears,

And challeng'd thy belov'd: axl
Mercy to my rescue flew,

And death ungrasp'd his fainting prey;
Pain before thy face withdrew,
And sorrow fled away.

3 Now as yesterday the same,
In all my troubles nigh,
Jesus, on thy Word and Name
I steadfastly rely:

Sure as now the grief I feel,
The promis'd joy I soon shall have;
Sav'd again, to sinners tell

Thy power and will to save.

To thy blessed will resign'd, And stay'd on that alone, I thy perfect strength shall find, Thy faithful mercies own: Compass'd round with songs of praise, My all to my Redeemer give';

Spread thy miracles of grace;

And to thy glory live. Like 7pk
