2 I wait, till he shall touch me clean,
Shall life and power impart,
Give me the faith that casts out sin,
And purifies the heart.

3 This is the dear redeeming grace,
For every sinner free;
Surely it shall on me take place,
The chief of sinners, me.

4 From all iniquity, from all,
He shall my soul redeem!
In Jesus I believe, and shall
Believe myself to him.

5 When Jesus makes my heart his home,
My sin shall all depart;

And, lo! he saith, "I quickly come,
To fill and rule thy heart!"

6 Be it according to thy word,
Redeem me from all sin:

My heart would now receive thee, Lord; Come in, my Lord, come in!

Josiah.] HYMN 345. 7's & 6's.

TONE is like Jeshurun's God,

N so great, so strong, so high

Lo! he spreads his wings abroad,
He rides upon the sky!
Israel is his first-born son :

God, th' Almighty God, is thine;
See him to thy help come down,
The excellence divine!

2 Thee, the great Jehovah deigns
To succour and defend;

Thee th' eternal God sustains,
Thy Maker and thy Friend:

Israel, what hast thou to dread?
Safe from all impending harms,
Round thee and beneath are spread
The everlasting Arms.

3 God is thine; disdain to fear
The enemy within:

God shall in thy flesh appear,
And make an end of sin;
God the man of sin shall slay,
Fill thee with triumphant joy;
God shall thrust him out, and say,
"Destroy them all, destroy!''
4 All the struggle then is o'er,

And wars and fightings cease:
Israel then shall sin no more,
But dwell in perfect peace.
All his enemies are gone :

Sin shall have in him no part :
Israel now shall dwell alone,
With Jesus in his heart.

5 In a land of corn and wine
His lot shall be below:
Comforts there, and blessings join,
And milk and honey flow!
Jacob's well is in his soul:

Gracious dews his heavens distil;
Fill his soul, already full,

And shall for ever fill.

6 Blest, O Israel, art thou!

What people is like thee!
Sav'd from sin, by Jesus, now
Thou art, and still shalt be.
Jesus is thy seven-fold shield,
Jesus is thy flaming sword;
Earth, and hell, and sin shall yield
To God's almighty Word.

Jehudijah.] HYMN 346. L. M.
HE wills that I should holy be;

That holiness I long to feel;

That full divine conformity

To all my Saviour's righteous will. 2 See, Lord, the travail of thy soul, Accomplish'd in the change of mine; And plunge me, ev'ry whit made whole, In all the depths of love divine! 3 On thee, O God, my soul is stay'd, And waits to prove thine utmost will:" The promise, by thy mercy made, Thou canst, thou wilt in me fulfil. 4 No more I stagger at thy pow'r,

Or doubt thy truth, which cannot move : Hasten the long-expected hour,

And bless me with thy perfect love.

St. Peters.] HYMN 347. L. M.

ESUS, thy loving Spirit alone,

1

me free;

Burst ev'ry bond through which I groan,
And set my heart at liberty.

2 Now let thy Spirit bring me in,
And give thy servant to possess
The land of rest from inbred sin,
The land of perfect holiness.

3 Lord, I believe thy pow'r the same,
The same thy truth and grace endure;
And in thy blessed hands I am,

And trust thee for a perfect cure.

4 Come, Saviour, come, and make me whole; Entirely all my sins remove!

To perfect health restore my soul,
To perfect holiness and love.

Peterborough.] HYMN 348. C. M.

JESUS, my Lord, I cry to thee,

Against the spirit unclean :

I want a constant liberty,

A perfect rest from sin.

2 Expel the fiend out of my heart, By love's almighty power:

Now, now command him to depart,

And never enter more.

3 Thy killing and thy quick'ning power, Jesus, in me display;

The life of nature, from this hour,
My pride and passion slay.

4 Then, then, my utmost Saviour, raise
My soul with saints above,

To serve thy will, and spread thy praise,
And sing thy perfect love.

5 This moment I thy truth confess;
This moment I receive

The heavenly gift, the dew of grace,
And by thyercy live.

6 The next, and every moment, Lord,
On me thy Spirit pour :

And bless me, who believe thy word,
With that last glorious shower!

Alfreton.] HYMN 349. L. M.

THOU

NHOU God that answerest by fire,
On thee in Jesu's name we call,
Fulfil our faithful hearts' desire,
And let on us thy Spirit fall.

2 Bound on the altar of thy cross,
Our old offending nature lies;
Now for the honour of thy cause,
Come, and consume the sacrifice!

3 Consume our lusts as rotten wood,
Consume our stony hearts within;
Consume the dust the serpent's food,
And dry up all the streams of sin.

4 Its body totally destroy!

Thyself the Lord, the God approve! And fill our hearts with holy joy,

And fervent zeal, and perfect love. 5 0 that the fire from heav'n might fall! Our sins its ready victims find: Seize on our sins, and burn up all,

Nor leave the least remains behind.

6 Then shall our prostrate souls adore
The Lord! He is the God, confess :
He is the God of saving pow'r!
He is the God of hallowing grace.

Devizes.] HYMN 350. C. M.

COME, 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,
And can no longer doubt!
Remove from hence, to sin I say,
Be cast this moment out.

4 Anger and sloth, desire and pride,
This moment be subdu'd!

Be cast into the crimson tide
Of my Redeemer's blood.
