And all my sickness cure.
7 Perfect, then, the work begun,
And make the sinner whole ;
All thy will on me be done,
My body, spirit, soul :
Convinced of Sin. Wo
Still preserve me safe from harms,
And kindly for thy patient care ;
Take me, Jesus, to thine arms,
And keep me ever there.
OTHOU, whom fain my soul would love,
Whom I would gladly die to know ;
This veil of unbelief remove,
And show me, all thy goodness show :
Jesus, thyself in me reveal,
Tell me thy name, thy nature tell.
Hast thou, been with me, Lord, so long,
Yet thee, my Lord, have I not known ?
I claim thee with a faltering tongue ;
I pray thee, in a feeble groan,
Tell me, O tell me, who thou art,
And speak thy name into my heart !
If now thou talkest by the way
With such an abject worm as me,
Thy mystery of grace display ;
Open mine eyes that I may see ;
That I may understand thy word,
And now cry out, -- " It is the Lord ! "
1 TESUS, in whom the weary find
** Their late, but permanent repose,
Physician of the sin-sick mind,
Relieve my wants, assuage my woes;
And let my soul on thee be cast,
Till life's fierce tyranny be past.
114 For Mourners
2 Loosed from my God, and far removed,
Long have 1 wander' d to and fro ;
O'er earth in endless circles roved,
Nor found whereon to rest below :
Back to my God at last I fly,
For O, the waters still are high !
3 Selfish pursuits, and nature's maze,
The things of earth, for thee I leave :
Put forth thy hand, thy hand of grace ;
Into the ark of love receive !
Take this poor fluttering soul to rest,
And lodge it, Saviour, in thy breast !
4 Fill with inviolable peace,
'Stablish and keep my settled heart ;
In thee may all my wanderings cease,
From thee no more may 1 depart ;
Thy utmost goodness call'd to prove,
Loved with an everlasting love !

1 T ET the world their virtue boast,
J-- ' Their works of righteousness ;
I, a wretch undone and lost,
Am freely saved by grace :
Other title I disclaim ;
