Rival of thy passion prove ?
Lead me in thyself, the way ;
Melt my hardness into love.
4 To love is all my wish,
1 only live for this :
32 The Goodness of God.
Grant me, Lord, my heart's desire,
There, by faith, for ever dwell :
This I always will require,
Thee, and only thee, to feel.
5 Thy power I pant to prove,
Rooted and fix'd in love ;
Strengthen'd by thy Spirit's might,
Wise to fathom things divine,
What the length, and breadth, and height,
What the depth of love like thine.
6 Ah ! give me this to know,
With all thy saints below :
Swells my soul to compass thee ;
Gasps in thee to live and move ;
Fill'd with all the Deity,
All immersed and lost in love !
1 (~\ LOVE Divine ! what hast thou done !
^J The' immortal God hath died for me !
The Father's co-eternal Son
Bore all my sins upon the tree :
The' immortal God for me hath died !
My Lord, my Love is crucified.
2 Behold him, all ye that pass by,
The bleeding Prince of Life and Peace !
Come, see, ye worms, your Maker die,
And say, was ever grief like his ?
Come, feel with me his blood applied :
My Lord, my Love is crucified.
3 Is crucified for me and you,
To bring us rebels back to God :
Believe, believe the record true,
Ye all are bought with Jesu's blood ;
Pardon for all flows from his side ;
My Lord, my Love is crucified.
4 Then let us sit beneath his cross,
And gladly catch the healing stream :
The Goodness of God. do
All things for him account but loss,
And give up all our hearts to him :
Of nothing think or speak beside,
" My Lord, my Love is crucified."
HYMN 29. 7's.
1 /"^OME, ye weary sinners, come,
^-^ All who groan beneath your load ;
Jesus calls his wanderers home :
Hasten to your pardoning God.
Come, ye guilty spirits, oppress'd,
Answer to the Saviour's call :
" Come, and I will give you rest :
Come, and I will save you all."
2 Jesus, full of truth and love,
We thy kindest word obey :
Faithful let thy mercies prove ;
