4 The men of grace have found Celestial fruit on earthly ground, And every tear be dry: We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high. HYMN 128. 8's and 7's. 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 2 Here I'll raise my Ebenezer, Hither by thy help I'm come; 3 Ken ten rat wa gat ka ro te, Gon ya tah kwea nya yen hahs'. TEYERIHWAHKWATHA 129. 6 lines 8's. A on sa yon da tre wah te. 1 Ka ro ka seht sat ha hi ne, 2 Se rih wi saks onh ka ni ih, 3 O, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it ; Prone to leave the God I love : Here's my heart, O take and seal it— Seal it for thy court's above. HYMN 129. 6 lines 8's. Wrestling Jacob. 1 Come, O thou traveller unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see ; My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee: With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am; My misery and my sin declare; Thyself has called me by my name, Look on they hands and read it there : But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name and tell me now. 3 Sha he thoh en deh sah kwis ron, 4 Sen ha genh en se rih wah seht'? 5 She gon nen wak hwis hen he yon, Ne ok en ga da di ten re; O rih wi yo enh skat kets koh, Ta gi tenr non wa sa thon dat, 3 In vain thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold; 4 Wilt thou not yet to me reveal 5 What though my shrinking flesh complain, And murmur to contend so long; I rise superior to my pain: When I am weak, then I am strong! And when my all of strength shall fail, I shall with the God-man prevail. 6 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak; Be conquered by my instant prayer: Speak, or thou never hence shall move, And tell me if thy name be Love. |
