All our Strife at last must cease,
All our Strength and Wisdom fail,
Such a Work we must confefs
With Man Impoffible.

4. But fhall Human Weakness dare
To limit Strength Divine?
Teach Almighty Wisdom where
To lay the Measuring Line?
Yes; we give our God the Lye,
Trample on the, All-cleanfing Blood,
From all Sin to fave, we cry,
This is too hard for Gov.

5. Still we liften to our Foe,
His Other Gofpel hear,
"No Perfection is below:

"No Love that cafts out Fear,
"Fear, and Sin must still remain,
"Still in you maintain their Seat,
"Sin fometimes will always reign,
"And force you to submit.

6. Soon as Satan gives the Word,
His Advocates for Sin,
Witness with their Lying Lord,

"Ye never can be clean

"From All Sin, while here below;

"Do not you the Word receive, "God's own Word may tell You fo, "But do not you believe."

It cannot, Cannot be !

All my Faith and Hope is vain
From Sin to be fet free:

I with only Evil fraught,
Full of defp'rate Wickednefs,
I who fin in Every Thought,
Can I from finning cease-?

Expect Thy Promises to prove
Accomplish'd all in me.

2. In Hope believing against Hope
Thy Faithfulness I plead,

Affur'd that Thou shalt lift me up,
And make me free indeed.

3. Thou shalt on me Thy Spirit pour,,
And make the Sinner clean,
In Confidence I wait the Hour
When I'fhall ceafe from Sin.

4. I truft, that to the Life Divine
Thou wilt my Soul restore,
And I fhall in Thine Image fhine,
And I fhall Sin no more.

5. Though Satan all thy Truths deny,
He fhall no more deceive,
I cannot give my God the Lie,
For I fhall furely live.
