UST as I am, without one plea,

But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bid'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God! I come, I come!

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,

To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God! I come, I come!

Just as I am; thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God! I come, I come!

take my fevered hands in thine,

(H, my tor, nearer thee,

Walking above the things of time,
In closest fellowship with thee.
Calm in thy secret presence, Lord,
I rest this weary soul of mine,
Feed on the fullness of thy word,

And die to all the things of time;

Such be my path while dwelling here,
One long, close, upward path with thee:
Until, past every doubt and fear,
Thy face in light above I see.

3.

GOD, forgive the years and years

Of worldly pride and hopes and fears;
Forgive, and blot them from thy book,
The sins on which I mourn to look.

Forgive the lack of service done
For thee, thro' life, from life begun;
Forgive the vain desire to be
All else but that desired by thee.

Forgive the love of human praise,
The first false step in crooked ways,
The voice of evil and the night,
The heart close shut against the light.
Forgive the love that could endure
No cost to bless the sad and poor;
Forgive, and give me grace to see
The life laid down in love for me.

My crimes are great, but can't surpass
The power and glory of thy grace;
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,
So let thy Pardoning love be found.

Oh wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offenses pain mine eyes.

Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope still hov'ring round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.

THAT my load of sin were gon; O that I could at last submit At Jesus' feet to lay it downTo lay my soul at Jesus' feet. Rest for my soul I long to find;

Saviour of all, if mine thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly minu, And stamp thine image on my heat

Break off the yoke of inbred sin
And fully set my spirit free;

I cannot rest till pure within,-
Till I am wholly lost in thee.

BEULAH Land! Fair Beulah Land!
Upon the shore of earth I stand,
And look across the narrow sea
That seperates yon Heaven from me.
O, Beulah Land, bright Beulah Land!
I feel my raptured soul expand
As I, with eager faith, behold
Yon walls of jasper, gates of gold.

O, Beulah Land! sweet vale of peace,
Whose very air is full of bliss,
I linger in thy bowers of prayer,
The fragrance of God's love is there.

2.

THIRST, thou wounded Lamb of God, To wash me in thy cleansing blood: To dwell within thy wounds: then pain Is sweet, and life or death is gain. Take my poor heart, and let it be Forever closed to all but thee: Seal thou my breast, and let me wear That pledge of love forever there.

FROM every stormy wind that blows,

From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
"Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads-
A place than all besides more sweet;
It is the blood bought mercy-seat.

There, there on eagle wings we soar,
And sin and sense molest no more;

And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

ESUS! and shall it ever be,

A mortal man ashamed of thee! Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days!

Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend,
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No, when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name.

Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tears to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.

5.

sinner! hath a voice within,

Soft whispered to thy secret soul,

Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God's control? Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,

It was the Spirit's gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard, in time, the warning kind; That call thou mayst not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find.

AWAKE, my soul, in joyful lays,

And sing thy great Redeemer's praise
He justly claims a song from thee,
His loving kindness oh, how free!'

He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness, oh, how great!
Often I feel my sinful heart

Prone from my Saviour to depart;
But, though I oft have him forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
Oh, may my last expiring breath
His loving kindness sing in death.

10.

THOU, to whose all-searching sight 'The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart, it pants for thee; Oh, burst these bonds, and set it free! Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought, let all within Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean.
