Still thy timely help afford,

And all thy loving-kindness show; Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.

2 By me, O my Saviour, ftand
In fore temptation's hour!

Save me with thine out-ftretch'd hand,
And fhew forth all thy pow'r :
O be mindful of thy word,

Thy all-fufficient grace beftow:
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

3 Give me, Lord, a holy fear,
And fix it in my heart,
That I may from evil near,
With speedy care depart :
Sin be more than hell abhorr'd,
Till thou deftroy the tyrant foe:
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

4 Never let me leave thy breaft,
Nor from my Saviour &ray;
Thou art my fupport and reft,
My true and living way:
My exceeding great reward,

I

In heav'n above, and earth below Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.

HYMN LIV.

ORD! and is thine anger gone
And art thou pacify'd?

After all that I have done,
Doft thou no longer chide?

Infinite thy mercies are;

Beneath the weight I cannot move : O, 'tis more than I can bear,

The fenfe of pard'ning love!

2 Let it still my heart constrain, And all my paffions fway; Keep me, left I turn again

Out of the narrow way; Force my vi'lence to be still,

And captivate my ev'ry thought; Charm, and melt, and change my will, And bring me down to nought.

3 If I have begun once more
Thy fweet return to feel;
If ev'n now I find thy pow'r
Prefent my foul to heal;
Still and quiet may I lie,

Nor ftruggle out of thine embrace;
Never more refift, or fly

From thy pursuing grace.

4 To the cross, thine altar, bind
Me with the cords of love;
Freedom let me never find

From my dear Lord to move;
That I never, never more

May with my much lov'd Master part,
To the pofts of mercy's door,

O nail my willing heart.

5 See my utter helpleffness,
And leave me not alone,
O preferve in perfect peace,
And feal me for thine own

More and more thyself reveal,
Thy prefence let me always find:
Comfort, and confirm, and heal,
My feeble, fin-fick mind.

6 As the apple of an eye,

I

Thy weakeft fervant keep;
Help me at thy feet to lie,
And there for ever weep:
Tears of joy mine eyes o'erflow,
That I have any hope of heav'n;
Much of love I ought to know,
For I have much forgiv❜n.

HYMN LV.

HEE will I love, my ftrength, my tow'r,
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown,
Thee will I love with all my pow'r,
In all my works and thee alone:
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
Fill my whole foul with chafte defire.

2 Ah! why did I fo late thee know,
Thee, lovelier than the fons of men!
Ah! why did I no fooner go

To thee, the only ease in pain?
Afham'd I figh and inly mourn,
That I fo late to thee did turn.

3 In darkness willingly I ftray'd;

I fought thee, yet from thee Irov'd; Far wide my wand'ring thoughts were fpread, Thy creatures more than thee I lov'd; And now if more at length I fee,

'Tis thro' thy light and comes from thee.

4 I thank thee, uncreated Sun,

That thy bright beams on me have shin'd'; I thank thee, who haft overthrown

My foes, and heal'd my wounded mind;
I thank thee, whofe enliv'ning voice
Bids my freed heart in thee rejoice.

5 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor fuffer me again to ftray;
Strengthen my feet with fteady pace,
Still to prefs forward in the way:
My foul and flesh, Lord of might,
Fill, fatiate with thy heav'nly light.

INFINITE, unexhaufted love!
Jefus and love are one;

If ftill to me thy bowels move,
They are reftrain'd to none.

2 What fhall I do my God to love?
My loving God to praife?

The length, and breadth, and height, to prove,
And depth of fov'reign grace?

3 Thy fov'reign grace to all extends,
Immenfe and unconfin'd;

From age to age it never ends,

It reaches all mankind.

4 Throughout the world its breadth is known, Wide as infinity;

So wide, it never pafs'd by one,

Or it had pafs'd by me.

F

5 My trespass was grown up to heav'n;
But far above the skies,
In Chrift abundantly forgiv'n,
I fee thy mercies rise!

6 The depth of all-redeeming love,
What angel tongue can tell?
O may I to the utmost prove
The gift unspeakable!

7 Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take Poffeffion of thine own!

My longing heart vouchsafe to make
Thine everlasting throne!

8 Affert thy claim, maintain thy right,
Come quickly from above:
And fink me to perfection's height,
The depth of humble love.

One God in perfons three.

Bring back the heav'nly bleffing loft
By all mankind and me.

To me, to all reftore;

Forgive, and after God renew,
And keep me evermore.

Difplay thy beams divine,
And caufe the glories of thy face,
Upon my heart to shine.
