4 We yield to be set free;
Thy counsel we approve;
Salvation we ascribe to thee,
And glory in thy love.
5 Our nature shall no more
O'er us dominion have:
By faith we apprehend the power
Which shall forever save.
12th P. M. 76, 76, 78, 76.
Speak the word.
VER fainting with desire,
Thee I restlessly require;
I want my God, my all.
Jesus, dear redeeming Lord,
I wait thy coming from above;
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
2 Wilt thou suffer me to go
Lamenting all my days?
Shall I never, never know
Thy sanctifying grace?
Wilt thou not thy light afford?
The darkness from my soul remove?
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
3 Thou my life, my treasure be,
My portion here below:
Nothing would I seek but thee,-
Thee only would I know;
My exceeding great reward,
My heaven on earth, my heaven above:
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
4 Grant me now the bliss to feel
Of those that are in thee:
Son of God, thyself reveal;
Engrave thy Name on me.
As in heaven, be here adored,
And let me now the promise prove;
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
Now is the accepted time.
even now, I yield, I yield,
With all my sins to part;
Redeemer, speak my pardon seal'd,
And purify my heart.
2 O Jesus, now my heart inspire
With that pure love of thine;
Enkindle now the heavenly fire,
To brighten and refine.
3 Now purify my faith like gold;
The dross of sin remove;
Melt down my spirit, Lord, and mould
Into thy perfect love.
SAVIOUR, welcome to my heart;
Possess thy humble throne;
Bid every rival, Lord, depart,
And reign, O Christ, alone.
2 The world and Satan I forsake;
To thee I all resign;
My longing heart, Ŏ Saviour, take,
And fill with love divine.
30 may I never turn aside,
Nor from thy bosom flee;
Let nothing here my heart divide;
I give it all to thee.
YOME, O my God, the promise seal,
This mountain, sin, remove;
Now in my waiting soul reveal
The virtue of thy love.
2 I want thy life, thy purity,
Thy righteousness, brought in:
I ask, desire, and trust in thee
To be redeem'd from sin.
3 For this, as taught by thee, I pray,
My inbred sin cast out:
Thou wilt, in me, thy power display;
I can no longer doubt.
4 Let anger, sloth, desire, and pride,
This moment be subdued;
Be cast into the crimson tide
Of my Redeemer's blood.
5 Saviour, to thee my soul looks up,
My present Saviour thou!
In all the confidence of hope,
I claim the blessing now.
6 'Tis done; thou dost this moment saveWith full salvation bless;
Redemption through thy blood I have,
And spotless love and peace.
The evidence of perfect love.
UICKEN'D with our immortal Head,
Who daily, Lord, ascend with thee;
Redeem'd from sin, and free indeed,
We taste our glorious liberty.
2 Saved from the fear of hell and death,
With joy we seek the things above;
And all thy saints the spirit breathe
Of power, sobriety, and love.
3 Power o'er the world, the flesh, and sin, We through thy gracious Spirit feel: Full power the victory to win,
And answer all thy righteous will.
4 Pure love to God thy members find;
Pure love to every soul of man;
And in thy sober, spotless mind,
Saviour, our heaven on earth we gain.
The witness of entire consecration.
(OME, Holy Ghost, all-quick'ning fire,
Come, and in me delight to rest;
Drawn by the lure of strong desire,
O come and consecrate my breast;
The temple of my soul prepare,
And fix thy sacred presence there.
2 If now thine influence I feel,
If now in thee begin to live,
Still to my heart thyself reveal;
Give me thyself, forever give:
A point my good, a drop my store,
Eager I ask, I pant for more.
3 Eager for thee ask and pant,
So strong the principle divine
Carries me out with sweet constraint,
Till all my hallow'd soul is thine;
Plunged in the Godhead's deepest sea,
And lost in thy immensity.
4 My peace, my life, my comfort thou,
My treasure and my all thou art;
True witness of my sonship, now
Engraving pardon on my heart:
Seal of my sins in Christ forgiven,
Earnest of love, and pledge of heaven.
PRAYER is appointed to convey
The blessings God designs to give :
Long as they live should Christians pray;
They learn to pray when first they live.
2 If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress;
If cares distract, or fears dismay;
If guilt deject; if sin distress;
In every case, still watch and pray.
3 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak:
Though thought be broken, language lame,
Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak;
But pray with faith in Jesus' name.
4 Depend on him; thou canst not fail;
Make all thy wants and wishes known;
Fear not; his merits must prevail :
Ask but in faith, it shall be done.
PRAYER is the soul's sincere desire,
Utter'd or unexpress'd;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,-
The falling of a tear,-
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
