2 I right early shall awake And see the perfect day; My inbred sin away ; Sin for ever shall depart; In a believing heart.. 3 Son of God, arise, arise, And to thy temple come! The man of sin consume ; Reign thou in my heart alone; the sanctifying word, of Liberty.] HYMN 370. 6 lines 8's. 1 RIS’NERS of hope, lift up your heads, Jesus, who on the Serpent treads, Shall soon in your behalf appear: The Lord will to his temple come ; Prepare your hearts to make him room. 2 Ye all shall find whom in his word Himself hath caus’d to put your trust, The Father of our dying Lord Is ever to his promise just; Faithful, if we our sins confess, To cleanse from all unrighteousness. 3 Yes, Lord, we must believe thee kind, Thou never canst unfaithful prove : Who ask, shall all receive thy love : 4 O ye of fearful hearts, be strong! Your downcast eyes and hands lift up! Ye shall not be forgotten long : Hope to the end, in Jesus hope ! Tell him, ye wait his grace to prove; And cannot fail if God is love! 5 Pris'ners of hope, be strong, be bold; Cast off your doubts, disdain to fear! Wrestle with Christ in mighty prayer ; Till we thy name, thy nature know.” 6 Hast thou not died to purge our sin, And rose, thy death for us to plead ? Our hearts, and make us free indeed ? Thou diedst, and could'st not die in vain. 7 Lord, we believe, and wait the hour, Which all thy great salvation brings; Shall come, and make us priests and kings; 66 The servant shall be as his Lord." 8 The promise stands for ever sure, And we shall in thine image shine, Holy, angelical, divine; Triumph.] HYMN 371. L. M. 1 ET not the wise their wisdom boast; Which take their everlasting flight. The rush of numerous years bears down The most gigantic strength of man; And where is all his wisdom gone, When dust he turns to dust again? 2 One only gift can justify The boasting soul that knows his God; When Jesus doth his blood apply, I glory in his sprinkled blood. I triumph in the love divine, In Christ to endless ages mine. Farnworth.] HYMN 372. S. M. 1 With a glad heart and free, Myself, my residue of days, I consecrate to thee. Restore to thee thy own; To serve my God alone. To thee, the Lord of earth and skies? My spirit, soul, and flesh receive, A holy, living sacrifice, Small as it is, 'tis all my store; More should'st thou have, if I had more. 2 Now then, my God, thou hast my soul: No longer mine, but thine I am: Guard thou thine own, possess it whole! Cheer it with hope, with love inflame! Thou hast my spirit; there display Thy glory to the perfect day, 3 Thou hast my flesh, thy hallow'd shrine, Devoted solely to thy will: Here let thy light for ever shine : This house still let thy presence fill : O Source of Life-live, dwell, and move In me, till all my life be love! 4 O never in these veils of shame, (Sad fruits of sin,) my glorying be! Clothe with salvation, through thy name, My soul, and let me put on thee! And my best robe thy righteousness. 5 Send down thy likeness from above, And let this my adorning be: With lowliness and purity, And brighter than the morning-star. 6 Lord, arm me with thy Spirit's might, Since I am call’d by thy great name, Of all my works be thou the aim: And my sole business be thy praise ! The steward of the Lord. My life, or goods, or fame; Them down, I always am. FAT I wait thy faithfulness to prove, And give back all to thee. 4 Take when thou wilt into thy hands, And as thou wilt require; Resume, by the Chaldean bands, Or the devouring fire. Thy blessings I restore; I praise thee evermore. FA Rochester.] HYMN 375. C. M. 1 VATHER, to thee my soul I lift; My soul on thee depends ; Convinc'd that every perfect gift From thee alone descends. 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, And power, and wisdom too: Without the Spirit of thy Son, We nothing good can do. 3 We cannot speak one useful word, One holy thought conceive ; Unless, in answer to our Lord, Thyself the blessing give. 4 His blood demands the purchas'd grace: His blood's availing plea, Obtain'd the help for all our race, And sends it down to me. 5 Thou all our works in us hast wrought, Our good is all divine: And righteous word, is thine. 6 From thee, through Jesus, we receive.
