To rescue me from wo,
Thou didst with all things part;
Didst lead a suffering life below,
To gain my worthless heart.

My worthless heart to gain,
The God of all that breathe,
Was found in fashion as a man,
And died a cursed death.

SECOND PART.

AND can I yet delay,

My little all to give?

To tear my soul from earth away,
For Jesus to receive?

Nay, but I yield, I yield!
I can hold out no more:

I sink, by dying love compell'd,
And own Thee conqueror!

Though late, I all forsake,
My friends, my all resign;
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever thine!

Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove:
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all thy weight of love.

My one desire be this,

Thy only love to know;

To seek and taste no other bliss,

No other good below.

My life, my portion thou,

Thou all-sufficient art;

My hope, my heavenly treasure, now
Enter and keep my heart.

Majesty.] HYMN 68. C. M.

FIRST PART.

10 THAT thou wouldst the heavens rept,

In majesty come down;

Stretch out thine arm omnipotent,

And seize me for thine own!

2 Descend, and let thy lightnings burn
The stubble of thy foe;

My sins o'erturn, o'erturn, o'erturn,
And make the mountains flow!

3 Thou my impetuous spirit guide,
And curb my headstrong will;
Thou only canst drive back the tide,
And bid the sun stand still.

4 What though I cannot break my chain,
Or e'er throw off my load;

The things impossible to men,
Are possible to God.

5 Is there a thing too hard for thee,
Almighty Lord of all;

Whose threat'ning looks dry up the sea,
And make the mountains fall?

6 Who, who shall in thy presence stand,
And match Omnipotence?
Ungrasp the hold of thy right-hand,
Or pluck the sinner thence?

7 Sworn to destroy, let earth assail;
Nearer to save thou art;

Stronger than all the powers of hell,
And greater than my heart.

B Lo! to the hills I lift mine eye;
Thy promis'd aid I claim:
Father of mercies, glorify
Thy favourite Jesu's name,

9 Salvation in that name is found,
Balm of my grief and care;
A med'cine for my every wound,
All, all I want is there,

SECOND PART.

1 JESU! Redeemer, Saviour, Lord,
The weary sinner's friend;
Come to my help, pronounce the word,
And bid my troubles end.

2 Deliv'rance to my soul proclaim,
And life and liberty;

Shed forth the virtue of thy name,
And Jesus prove to me!

3 Faith to be heal'd thou know'st I have;
For thou that faith hast given;
Thou canst, thou wilt the sinner save,
And make me meet for heaven.

4 Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine; Thou wilt victorious prove:

For everlasting strength is thine,
And everlasting love.

5 Thy powerful Spirit shall subdue
Unconquerable sin;

Cleanse this foul heart, and make it new,
And write thy law within.

6 Bound down with twice ten thousand ties, Yet let me hear thy call;

My soul in confidence shall rise,

Shall rise and break through all.

7 Speak, and the deaf shall hear thy voice, The blind his sight receive;

The dumb in songs of praise rejoice;
The heart of stone believe.

8 The Ethiop then shall change his skin;
The dead shall feel thy power;
The loathsome leper shall be clean,
And I shall sin no more.

FIRST PART.

HEE, Jesus, thee, the sinner's friend,
I follow on to apprehend,

Renew the glorious strife;
Divinely confident and bold,

With faith's strong arm on thee lay hold,
Thee, my eternal life.

2 Thy heart, I know, thy tender heart
Doth in my sorrow feel its part,
And at my tears relent;

My powerful sighs thou canst not bear,
Nor stand the violence of my prayer
My prayer omnipotent.

3 Give me the grace, the love I claim;
Thy Spirit now demands thy name!
Thou know'st the Spirit's will;

He helps my soul's infirmity,
And strongly intercedes for me
With groans unspeakable.

4 Answer, O Lord, thy Spirit's groan!
O make to me thy nature known,
Thy hidden name impart!
(Thy name and nature are the same)
Tell me thy nature, and thy name,
And write it on my heart.

SECOND PART.

1 PRIS'NER of hope, to thee I turn, And, calmly confident, I mourn, And pray, and weep for thee:

Tell me thy love, thy secret tell,
Thy mystic name in me reveal,
Reveal thyself in me!

2 Descend, pass by me, and proclaim,
O Lord of hosts, thy glorious name,
"The Lord, the gracious Lord;
Long-suffering, merciful, and kind,
The God who always bears in mind
His everlasting word."

3 Plenteous he is in truth and grace;
He wills that all the fallen race
Should turn, repent, and live:
His pardoning grace for all is free;
Transgression, sin, iniquity,
He freely doth forgive.

4 Mercy he doth for thousands keep;
He goes and seeks the one lost sheep,
And brings his wand'rer home:
And every soul that sheep might be ;
Come, then, my Lord, and gather me,
My Jesus, quickly come.

5 Take me into thy people's rest,
O come, and with my sole request,
My one desire comply!
Make me partaker of my hope,
Then bid me get me quickly up,
And on thy bosom die.

Kennebeck.] HYMN 70. 48's & 2 6's.
STILL, Lord, I languish for thy grace,

Reveal the beauties of thy face,

The middle wall remove :

Appear and banish my complaint;
Come and supply my only want,
Fill all my soul with love!
