2 Saviour, Prince, enthroned above,
Repentance to impart,
Give me, through thy dying love,
The humble, contrite heart:
Give what I have long implored,
A portion of thy grief unknown;
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
3 See me, Saviour, from above,
Nor suffer me to die;
Life, and happiness, and love

Drop from thy gracious eye:
Speak the reconciling word,
And let thy mercy melt me down;
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

And break my heart of stone.

4 Look, as when thine eye pursued
The first apostate man,
Saw him weltering in his blood,
And bade him rise again:
Speak my paradise restored,
Redeem me by thy grace alone;
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

And break my heart of stone. 5 Look, as when thy pity saw

Thine own in a strange land, Forced to obey the tyrant's law, And feel his heavy hand:. Speak the soul-redeeming word, And out of Egypt call thy son; Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

*

And break my heart of stone. 6 Look, as when thy grace beheld The harlot in distress, Dried her tears, her pardon sealed, And bade her go in peace: Vile, like her, and self-abhorred, I at thy feet for mercy groan; Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

And break my heart of stone. 7 Look, as when thy languid eye Was closed, that we might live; "Father," (at the point to die My Saviour gasped) "forgive!"

THE Spirit of the Lord our God
(Spirit of power, and health, and
love)

The Father hath on Christ bestowed,
And sent him from his throne above;
2 Prophet, and Priest, and King of peace,
Anointed to declare his will,
To minister his pardoning grace,

And every sin-sick soul to heal. 3 Sinners, obey the heavenly call; Your prison-doors stand open wide; Go forth, for he hath ransomed all, For every soul of man hath died.

4 "Tis his the drooping soul to raise,
To rescue all by sin opprest,
To clothe, them with the robes of
praise,

And give their weary spirits rest;
5 To help their grovelling unbelief,
Beauty for ashes to confer,
The oil of joy for abject grief,
Triumphant joy for sad despair;

6 To make them trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord below,
To spread the honour of his grace,
And on to full perfection grow.

WRETCHED, helpless, and distrest,

Ah! whither shall I fly ?

Ever gasping after rest,

I cannot find it nigh:

Naked, sick, and poor, and blind,
Fast bound in sin and misery,
Friend of sinners, let me find
My help, my all, in thee!

2 I am all unclean, unclean,

Thy purity I want; My whole heart is sick of sin, And my whole head is faint; Full of putrefying sores, Of bruises, and of wounds, my soul Looks to Jesus, help implores,

And gasps to be made whole. 3 In the wilderness I stray,

My foolish heart is blind,
Nothing do I know; the way
Of peace I cannot find:
Jesu, Lord, restore my sight,
And take, O take, the veil away!
Turn my darkness into light,
My midnight into day.

4 Naked of thine image, Lord,
Forsaken, and alone,
Unrenewed, and unrestored,
I have not thee put on ;
Over me thy mantle spread,
Send down thy likeness from above,
Let thy goodness be displayed,
And wrap me in thy love.

5 Poor, alas! thou know'st I am,
And would be poorer still,
See my nakedness and shame,
And all my vileness feel;
No good thing in me resides,
My soul is all an aching void
Till thy Spirit here abides,

And I am filled with God.
6 Jesus, full of truth and grace,
In thee is all I want;
Be the wanderer's resting-place,
A cordial to the faint;
Make me rich, for I am poor;
In thee may I my Eden find;
To the dying health restore,

And eye-sight to the blind.
7 Clothe me with thy holiness,
Thy meek humility;
Put on me my glorious dress,
Endue my soul with thee;

JESU, friend of sinners, hear, Yet once again I pray; From my debt of sin set clear, For I have nought to pay; Speak, O speak, the kind release, A poor backsliding soul restore! Love me freely, seal my peace,

And bid me sin no more.

2 For my selfishness and pride
Thou hast withdrawn thy grace,
Left me long to wander wide,
An outcast from thy face;
But I now my sins confess,
And mercy, mercy, I implore;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.

Though my sins as mountains rise,
And swell and reach to heaven,
Mercy is above the skies,

I may be still forgiven;
Infinite my sin's increase,
But greater is thy mercy's store;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.

4 Sin's deceitfulness hath spread
A hardness o'er my heart;
But if thou thy Spirit shed,

This hardness shall depart; Shed thy love, thy tenderness, And let me feel thy softening power; Love me freely, seal my peace,

And bid me sin no more.

5 From the oppressive power of sin My struggling spirit free; Perfect righteousness bring in, Unspotted purity;

THUS saith the Lord! Who seek the
Lamb,

Who follow after righteousness, Look to the rock from whence ye came, The father of the faithful race.

2 Children of faithful Abraham these Who dare expect salvation here, The Lord shall give them gospel peace, And all his hopeless mourners cheer;

3 Shall soon his fallen Zion raise,

Her waste and desclate place build; Pour out the Spirit of his grace,

And make her wilds a fruitful field.

4 The barren souls shall be restored,
The desert all renewed shall rise,
Bloom as the garden of the Lord,
A fair terrestrial paradise.

5 Gladness and joy shall there be found, Thanksgiving and the voice of praise; The voice of melody shall sound,

And every heart be filled with grace.

6 A law shall soon from him proceed,
A living, life-infusing word,
The truth that makes you free indeed,
The eternal Spirit of your Lord.

7 His mercy he will cause to rest

Where all may see their sins forgiven; May rise, no more by guilt opprest, And bless the light that leads to heaven.

The Good Samaritan.-Luke x. 30.

WOE is me! what tongue can tell

My sad afflicted state,

Who my anguish can reveal,
Or all my woes relate?
Fallen among thieves I am,

And they have robbed me of my God,
Turned my glory into shame,
And left me in my blood.

20 thou good Samaritan!

In thee is all my hope;
Only thou canst succour man,
And raise the fallen up:
Hearken to my dying cry;
My wounds compassionately see;
Me, a sinner, pass not by,
Who gasp for help from thee.

Now, even now, I see thy face;
The balm of Gilead I receive;
Thou hast saved me by thy grace,
And bade the sinner live.

6 Surely now the bitterness
Of second death is past;
O my Life, my Righteousness,
On thee my soul is cast!
Thou hast brought me to thine inn,
And I am of thy promise sure;
Thou shalt cleanse me from all sin,
And all my sickness cure.

7 Perfect then the work begun,
And make the sinner whole;
All thy will on me be done,
My body, spirit, soul;
Still preserve me safe from harms,
And kindly for thy patient care,
Take me, Jesus, to thine arms,
And keep me ever there.

113

3 Still thou journeyest where I am, Still thy compassions move;

0

Pity is with thee the same, And all thy heart is love; Stoop to a poor sinner, stoop, And let thy healing grace abound, Heal my bruises, and bind up My spirit's every wound.

4 Saviour of my soul, draw nigh, In mercy haste to me, At the point of death I lie,

And cannot come to thee; Now thy kind relief afford, The wine and oil of grace pour in; Good Physician, speak the word, And heal my soul of sin.

5 Pity to my dying cries

Hath drawn thee from above,
Hovering over me, with eyes
Of tenderness and love,

6-88.

THOU whom fain my soul would love!

Whom I would gladly die to krow; This veil of unbelief remove,

And show me, all thy goodness show; Jesus, thyself in me reveal,

Tell me thy name, thy nature tell.

2 Hast thou been with me, Lord, so long, Yet thee, my Lord, have I not known?

I claim thee with a faltering tongue,
I pray thee, in a feeble groan,
Tell me, O tell me, who thou art,
And speak thy name into my heart!

3 If now thou talkest by the way

With such an abject worm as me, Thy mystery of grace display;

Open mine eyes that I may see, That I may understand thy word, And now cry out-"It is the Lord!".

JESU, in whom the weary find

114

Their late, but permanent repose,
Physician of the sin-sick mind,
Relieve my wants, assuage my woes;
And let my soul on thee be cast,
Till life's fierce tyranny be past.

2 Loosed from my God, and far removed, Long have I wandered to and fro, O'er earth in endless circles roved,

Nor found whereon to rest below:
Back to my God at last I fly,
For O, the waters still are high!
3 Selfish pursuits, and nature's maze,

The things of earth, for thee I leave;
Put forth thy hand, thy hand of grace,
Into the ark of love receive,
Take this poor fluttering soul to rest,
And lodge it, Saviour, in thy breast.

4 Fill with inviolable peace,

Stablish and keep my settled heart; In thee may all my wanderings cease, From thee no more may I depart; Thy utmost goodness called to prove, Loved with an everlasting love!

ET the world their virtue boast,

Their works of righteousness;

I, a wretch undone and lost,

Am freely saved by grace;
Other title I disclaim;
This, only this, is all my plea,
I, the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

2 Happy they whose joys abound
Like Jordan's swelling stream,

Who their heaven in Christ have found,
And give the praise to him;
Meanest follower of the Lamb,

His steps I at a distance see;
I the chief of sirners am,

But Jesus died for me.

3 I, like Gideon's fleece, am found
Unwatered still, and dry,
While the dew on all around
Falls plenteous from the sky;
Yet my Lord I cannot blame,
The Saviour's grace for all is free;
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

4 Surely he will lift me up,
For I of him have need,
I cannot give up my hope,

Though I am cold and dead; To bring fire on earth he came, O that it now might kindled be! I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me.

5 Jesus, thou for me hast died,
And thou in me shalt live,
I shall feel thy death applied,
I shall thy life receive;
Yet, when melted in the flame
Of love, this shall be all my plea,
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

SAVIOUR, cast a pitying eye,
Bid my sins and sorrows end;
Whither should a sinner fly?

Art not thou the sinner's friend?
Rest in thee I gasp to find,
Wretched I, and poor, and blind.
2 Haste, O haste, to my relief!
From the iron furnace take;
Rid me of my sin and grief,
For thy love and mercy's sake;
Set my heart at liberty,
Show forth all thy power in me.

3 Me, the vilest of the race,

Most unholy, most unclean;
Me, the farthest from thy face,
Full of misery and sin;
Me with arms of love receive,
Me, of sinners chief, forgive!
