4 Forgive, and make my nature whole;
My inbred malady remove;
To perfect health restore my soul,
To perfect holiness and love.

St. Peters.] HYMN 339. L. M.

JESUS, let thy dying cry

Pierce to the bottom of my heart;
Its evils cure, its wants supply,
And bid my unbelief depart!

2 Slay the dire root and seed of sin;
Prepare for thee the holiest place!
Then, O essential Love, come in!
And fill thy house with endless praise.
3 Let me, according to thy word,

A tender, contrite heart receive,
Which grieves at having griev'd its Lord,
And never can itself forgive.

4 A heart, thy joys and griefs to feel,
A heart that cannot faithless prove;
A heart where Christ alone may dwell,
All praise, all meekness, and all love.

Swanwick.] HYMN 340. C. M.
OD of eternal truth and grace,

GThy faithful promise seal!

Thy word, thy oath, to Abraham's race,
In us, ev'n us fulfil.

2 Let us to perfect love restor❜d,
Thy image here retrieve :

And in the presence of our Lord,
The life of angels live.

3 That mighty faith on me bestow,
Which cannot ask in vain;

Which holds, and will not let thee go
Till I my suit obtain:

4 Till thou into my soul inspire The perfect love unknown: And tell my infinite desire,

"Whate'er thou wilt be done."

5 But is it possible that I

Should live, and sin no more?
Lord, if on thee I dare rely,

The faith shall bring the power.
6 On me the faith divine bestow,
Which doth the mountain move;
And all my spotless life shall show,
Th' omnipotence of love.

Triumph.] HYMN 341. L. M.

FIRST PART.

GOD of all power, and truth, and grace,

Which shall from age to age endure;

Whose word, when heav'n and earth shall pass, Remains and stands for ever sure:

2 That I thy mercy may proclaim,

That all mankind thy truth may see: Hallow thy great and glorious name, And perfect holiness in me.

3 Thy sanctifying Spirit pour,

To quench my thirst, and make me clean; Now, Father, let the gracious show'r Descend, and make me pure from sin.

4 Purge me from every sinful blot,
My idols all be cast aside,

Cleanse me from every sinful thought,
From all the filth of self and pride.

5 Give me a new, a perfect heart,

From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free; The mind which was in Christ impart, And let my spirit cleave to thee.

6 O take this heart of stone away!
Thy sway it doth not, cannot own :
In me no longer let it stay;

O take away this heart of stone!
7 O that I now, from sin releas'd,
Thy word may to the utmost prove!
Enter into the promis'd rest,

The Canaan of thy perfect love.

SECOND PART.

1 FATHER, supply my every need; Sustain the life thyself hast giv'n; Oh! grant the never-failing bread,

The manna that comes down from heav'n! 2 The gracious fruits of righteousness, Thy blessings' unexhausted store, In me abundantly increase,

Nor ever let me hunger more!

3 Let me no more in deep complaint,
"My leanness, O my leanness !" cry;
Alone consum'd with pining want,
Of all my Father's children I.

4 The painful thirst, the fond desire,
Thy joyous presence shall remove!
But my full soul shall still require
A whole eternity of love.

THIRD PART.

1 HOLY, and true, and righteous Lord,
I want to prove thy perfect will:
Be mindful of thy gracious word,
And stamp me with thy Spirit's seal

2 Open my faith's interior eye;
Display thy glory from above;

And all I am shall sink and die,

Lost in astonishment and love! 3 Confound, o'erpower me by thy grace; I would be by myself abhorr'd; All might, all majesty, all praise, All glory be to Christ my Lord! 4 Now let me gain perfection's height; Now let me into nothing fall; As less than nothing in thy sight, And feel that Christ is all in all !

Turin.] HYMN 342. 6 lines 7's.

INCE the Son hath made me free,
Let me taste my liberty!

Thee behold with open face,
Triumph in thy saving grace!
Thy great will delight to prove,
Glory in thy perfect love.

2 Abba, Father, hear thy child,
Late in Jesus reconcil'd;
Hear, and all the graces show'r,
All the joy, and peace, and pow'r;
All my Saviour asks above,
All the life and heaven of love.

3 Lord, I will not let thee go,
Till the blessing thou bestow:
Hear my Advocate divine!
Lo! to his my suit I join:
Join'd to his, it cannot fail :
Bless me; for I will prevail.

4 Heav'nly Father, Life divine,
Change my nature into thine!
Move, and spread throughout my soul,
Actuate, and fill the whole !

Be it I no longer now

Living in the flesh, but thou.

5 Holy Ghost, no more delay!
Come, and in thy temples stay!
Now thine inward witness bear,
Strong, and permanent, and clear:
Spring of Life, thyself impart;
Rise eternal in my heart!

Paradise.] HYMN 343. C. M.

1

JESUS! at thy feet we wait,
Till thou shalt bid us rise;

Restor❜d to our unsinning state,
To love's sweet paradise.

2 Saviour from sin, we thee receive,
From all indwelling sin

Thy blood we steadfastly believe
Shall make us throughly clean.

3 Since thou would'st have us free from sin,
And pure as those above;
Make haste to bring thy nature in,
And perfect us in love!

4 The counsel of thy love fulfil :
Come quickly, gracious Lord,
Be it according to thy will,
According to thy word.

5 0 that the perfect grace were giv'n,
Thy love diffus'd abroad!

O that our hearts were all a heav'n,
For ever fill'd with God!

Clarendon.] HYMN 344. C. M.

1 WHAT is our calling's glorious hope,

But inward holiness?

For this to Jesus I look up,

I calmly wait for this.
