HYMN 404.-Continued.

2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain-top
See all the land below;
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of Paradise
In endless plenty grow.

3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favoured with God's peculiar smile,

With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our Righteousnes
And keeps his own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.

4 O that I might at once go up!
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess ;
This moment end my legal years,
Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears.
A howling wilderness.

5 Now, O my Joshua, bring me in!
Cast out thy foes; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind, remove;

The purchase of thy death divide !
Give me with all the sanctified

The heritage of love!

5 He visits now the house of clay,

He shakes his future home;

O wouldst thou, Lord, on this glad day
Into thy temple come !

6 With me, I know, I feel thou art;
But this cannot suffice,

Unless thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise.

7 My earth thou waterest from on high,
But make it all a pool;
Spring up, O well, I ever cry,
Spring up within my soul!"

8 Come, O my God, thyself reveal,
Fill all this mighty void;
Thou only canst my spirit fill:
Come, O my God, my God!

9 Fulfil, fulfil my large desires,
Large as infinity;

Give, give me all my soul requires,
All, all that is in thee!

HYMN 407.-Continued.

2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns
To succour and defend;
Thee the 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 dew his heavens distil,
Fill his soul, already full,

And shall for ever fill.

6 Blest, O Israel, art thou!
What people is like thee?
Saved 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.

HYMN 408.-Continued.

4 No more I stagger at thy power,

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

And bless me with thy perfect love.

5 Jesus, thy loving Spirit alone

Can lead me forth, and make me free, Burst every bond through which I groan, And set my heart at liberty:

6 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.

7 Lord, I believe thy power the same,
The same thy truth and grace endure;
And in thy blessed hands I am,

And trust thee for a perfect cure.

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

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

HYMN 411.-Continued.

2 Father, Son, and Spirit, come,
And with thine own abide :
Holy Ghost, to make thee room,
Our hearts we open wide;
Thee, and only thee request,
To every asking sinner given;
Come, our life, and peace, and rest,
Our all in earth and heaven.

HYMN 412.-Continued.

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. 50 that the fire from heaven 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 power!
He is the God of hallowing grace!

1 Once thou didst on earth appear,
For all mankind to atone ;
Now be manifested here,

And bid our sin be gone!
Come, and by thy presence chase
Its nature with its guilt and power;
Jesus, show thine open face,

And sin shall be no more.

2 Thou who didst so greatly stoop
To a poor virgin's womb,
Here thy mean abode take up;
To me, my Saviour, come!
Come, and Satan's works destroy,
And let me all thy Godhead prove,
Filled with peace, and heavenly jcy,
And pure eternal love.

3 Then my soul, with strange delight,

Shall comprehend and feel

What the length, and breadth, and height,

Of love unspeakable:

Then I shall the secret know,

Which angels would search out in vain ;

God was man, and served below,

That man with God might reign! 2 N

Hymn 414. Middlethorpe. 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6.

1 Now, ev'n now, I yield, I yield, With all my sins to

part;

HYMN 414.-Continued.

2 Jesus, now our hearts inspire
With that pure love of thine;
Kindle now the heavenly fire
To brighten and refine;
Purify our faith like gold,

All the dross of sin remove;
Melt our spirits down, and mould
Into thy perfect love.

HYMN 415.-Continued.

2 Saviour, I thank thee for the grace,

The gift unspeakable!

And wait with arms of faith to embrace.

And all thy love to feel.

3 My soul breaks out in strong desire
The perfect bliss to prove;

My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolved in love.

4 Give me thyself; from every boast,
From every wish set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost;
But give thyself to me.

5 Thy gifts, alas, cannot suffice
Unless thyself be given;
Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven!
