2 To thee I lift my mournful eye.
Why am I thus? O tell me why
I cannot love my God.
The hindrance must be all in me:
It cannot in my Saviour be;-
Witness that streaming blood.
8 It cost thy blood my heart to win,
To buy me from the power of sin,
And make me love again:
Come, then, my Lord, thy right assert;
Take to thyself my ransom'd heart,
Nor bleed nor die in vain.
Deprecating eternal death.
FATHER, if I may call thee so,
Regard my fearful heart's desire:
Remove this load of guilty wo,
Nor let me in my sins expire.
2 I tremble, lest the wrath divine,
Which bruises now my wretched soul,
Should bruise this wretched soul of mine,
Long as eternal ages roll.

That endless banishment from thee; O save, and give me to thy Son,
Who suffer'd, wept, and bled for me.

God, my sins forgive;
it now impart;
in thee believe
y loving heart:
Jesus look,-
venly glory see,
save me undertook,
ever prays for me.
2 Grace, in answer to his prayer,
Fulness of grace bestow;
That I may with zealous care
Perform thy will below;
Rooted in humility,
Still in every state resign'd,-
Plant, Almighty Lord, in me
A meek and lowly mind.
3 Poor and vile in my own eyes,
With self-abasing shame
Still I would myself despise,
And magnify thy name.
Thee let every creature bless;
Praise alone to God be given;
God alone deserves the praise
Of all in earth and heaven.
7th P. M. 8 lines Ts.
The only Refuge.
JESUS, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,"
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee:
Leave, O leave me not alone;
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stay'd;
All iny help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
8 Thou, O Christ, art all I want:
More than ali in thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name;
I am all unrighteousness;
False, and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,-
Grace to cover all my sin:
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee:
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity.
Seeking deliverance and rest. WAKED from sin's delusive sleep, My heavy guilt I feel, and weep: Beneath a weight of woes oppress'd, I come to thee, my Lord, for rest.
2 Now, from thy throne of grace above, Look down upon my soul in love;That smile shall sweeten all my pain, And make my soul rejoice again.
3 By thy divine, transforming power,
My ruin'd nature now restore;
And let my life and temper shine,
In blest resemblance, Lord, to thine.
1st P. M. 6 lines 88.
The mourner blessed.
JESUS, if still the same thou art,
If all thy promises are sure,
Set up thy kingdom in my heart,
And make me rich, for I am poor:
To me be all thy treasures given,-
The kingdom of an inward heaven.
2 Thou hast pronounced the mourner blest, And lo! for thee I ever mourn;
I cannot, no, I will not rest,
Till thou, my only rest, return;
Till thou, the Prince of peace, appear,
And I receive the Comforter.
3 Where is the blessedness bestow'd
On all that hunger after thee!
I hunger now, I thirst for God;
See the poor fainting sinner, see;
And satisfy with endless peace,
And fill me with thy righteousness.
Pleading the promises.
TERCY alone can meet my case;
For mercy, Lord, I cry:
Jesus, Redeemer, show thy face
In mercy, or 1 die :-
2 I perish, and my doom were just;
But wilt thou leave me No:
I hold thee fast, my hope, my trust;
I will not let thee go.
3 Still sure to me thy promise stands,
And ever must abide:
Behold it written on thy hands,
And graven in thy side.
4 To this, this only will I cleave;
Thy word is all my plea;
That word is truth, and I believe :-
Have mercy, Lord, on me.
ET the redeem'd give thanks and praise To a forgiving God;
My feeble voice I cannot raise,
Till wash'd in Jesus' blood:
2 Till, at thy coming from above,
My mountain sin depart,
And fear give place to filial love,
And peace o'erflow my heart.
3 Pris'ner of hope, I still attend
The' appearance of my Lord,
These endless doubts and fears to end,
And speak my soul restored:-
4 Restored by reconciling grace;
With present pardon blest;
And fitted by true holiness
For my eternal rest.
5. The peace which man can ne'er conceive, The love and joy unknown,
Now, Father, to thy servant give,
And claim ine for thine own.
6 My God, in Jesus pacified,
My God, thyself déclare;
And draw me to his open side,
And plunge the sinner there.
