On all that hunger after thee ?
I hunger now, I thirst for God ;
See the poor fainting sinner, see,
And satisfy with endless peace,
And fill me with thy righteousness!
Conv meed of Sin . I O J
4 Ah, Lord, if thou art in that sigh,
Then hear thyself within me pray ;
Hear in my heart thy Spirit's cry ;
Mark what my labouring soul would say ;
Answer the deep, unutter'd groan,
And show that thou and I are one.
5 Shine on thy work, disperse the gloom !
Light in thy light I then shall see ;
Say to my soul, " Thy light is come ;
Glory divine is risen on thee :
Thy warfare's past; thy mourning's o'er:
Look up, for thou shalt weep no more.,,
6 Lord, I believe the promise sure,
And trust thou wilt not long delay :
Hungry, and sorrowful, and poor,
Upon thy word myself I stay ;
Into thine hands my all resign,
And wait till all thou art is mine.
HYMN 135. c. m.
1 T ESU, if still thou art to-day
*J As yesterday the same,
Present to heal, in me display
The virtue of thy Name.
2 If still thou go'st about to do
Thy needy creatures good,
On me, that I thy praise may show,
Be all thy wonders show'd.
3 Now, Lord, to whom for help I call,
Thy miracles repeat ;
With pitying eyes behold me fall
A leper at thy feet.
4 Loathsome, and vile, and self-abhorr'd,
I sink beneath my sin ;
' 2W For Mourners
But, if thou wilt, a gracious word
Of thine can make me clean.
5 Thou seest me deaf to thy command ;
Open, O Lord, my ear :
Bid me stretch out my wither'd hand,
And lift it up in prayer.
6 Silent, (alas ! thou know'st how long,)
My voice I cannot raise :
But, O ! when thou shalt loose my tongue,
The dumh shall sing thy praise.
7 Lame at the pool I still am found ;
Give, and my strength employ :
Light as a hart I then shall bound ;
The lame shall leap for joy.
8 Blind from my birth to guilt and thee,
And dark 1 am within :
The love of God I cannot see,
The sinfulness of sin.
