4 Break, O break this heart of stone;
Form it for thy use alone;
Bid each vanity depart,
Build thy temple in my heart.
5 This be my fupport in need,
That thou did❜ft fo freely bleed;
Hence my hopes and joys arife,
From thy bloody facrifice.
6 This confirms me when I'm weak,
Comforts me when I am fick ;
Gives me courage when I faint,
Well fupplies my ev'ry want.
7 Saviour, to my heart be near,
Exercife the shepherd's care;
Guard my weakness by thy grace,
Let me feel a conftant peace.
HYMN
THE SAME.
35.
GROUND, O ground me on the Lamb,
Other Saviours I disclaim;
Fix my heart on thee to stay,
Do it, LORD, without delay.
2 Empty is created good,
I want more fubftantial food
All is vanity befide
JESUS, and him crucify'd.
Fruitless is my fearch to find
True ferenity of mind,
Till I have with JESUS been,
And his finiling face have seen.
3
4 In thy prefence may I dwell,
Subject to thy holy will;
Show'r on me thy pow'r divine,
Mortify the man of fin.
5. While I travel here beneath,
Thy kind influence on me breathe;
Reconcil'd to me appear,
And thy righteousness bring near.
6 Grant me ftill in grace to grow,
While a pilgrim here below;
Let me by thy Spirit move,
And with all my heart thee love.
HYMN 36. ABSENCE FROM GOD.
Thou, whofe tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble figh;
Whofe hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From forrow's weeping eye.
2 See low before thy throne of grace
A wretched wand'rer mourn;
Haft thou not bid me seek thy face?
Haft thou not faid, Return?
3 And fhall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet?
O let not this dear refuge fail,
This only fafe retreat.
4 Absent from thee, my guide, my light,
Without one chearing ray,
Thro' dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How defolate my way!
5 O fhine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy fhine;
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
6 Thy presence only can beftow
Delights which never cloy;,
Be this my folace here below,
And my eternal joy.
4 Fain would I hate my fin, And ponder on thy love; Till all be fanctify'd within,
HYMN 37. THE SAME.
DEA
EAR LORD, attend my pray❜r,
And all my wants relieve;
Come to my heart, and dwell thou there,
That thou in me may'ft live,
{'
2 In weakness I draw nigh
Unto the throne of grace:
Anfwer the finner's mournful cry,
And fill me with thy peace.
Thou read'st my naked breast;
For liberty I groan;
3
I figh in thee, my LORD, to reft,
And worship thee alone.
And my whole heart's above.
5 If trials vex my mind,
Close to thy wounds I'll flee;
No refuge may I elsewhere find
No refuge but in thee.
6 To thee I recommend
My poor and trembling foul;
On thee for future grace depend,
Who art my all in all.
HYMN 384
MEEKNESS AND HUMILITY.
ILORD, if thou the grace impart,
Poor in fpirit, meek in heart,
I fhall as my Master be,
Rooted in humility.
2 From the time that thee I know,
Nothing would I feek below;
Aim at nothing great or high,
Lowly both in heart and eye.
3 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Chang'd into a little child;
Pleas'd with all the LORD provides,
Wean'd from all the world befides.
4 Father, fix my foul on thee
Ev'ry evil let me flee;
Nothing want beneath, above,
Happy in thy precious love.
5 O that all may feek, and find
Every good in JESUS join'd!
Him let Ifrael still adore,
Truft him, praife him evermore..

ΟΝ
N thee, O GOD of purity, I wait for hallowing grace; None without holiness fhall fee The glories of thy face: In fouls unholy, and unclean, Thou never canft delight; Nor fhall they, while unfav'd from sin, Appear before thy fight.
2 But as for me, with humble fear,
I will approach thy gate;
Though most unworthy to draw near,
Or in thy courts to wait:
I truft in thine unbounded grace,.
To all fo freely given mod
And worship t'ward thy holy place,
And lift my foul to heav'n,
3
Lead me in all thy righteous ways,
Nor fuffer me to flide;
Point out the path before my face;
My God, be thou my guide!
O may I ne'er to evil yield,
Defended from above,
And kept, and cover'd with the fhield,
Of thine almighty love.,
