9 But thou, they say, art passing by :
O let me find thee near ;
Jesu, in mercy hear my cry,
Thou Son of David, hear !
10 Behold me waiting in the way
For thee, the heavenly Light ;
Command me to be brought, and say,
" Sinner, receive thy sight ! '
HYMN 136. cm.
1 A7LTHILE dead in trespasses I lie,
' * Thy quickening Spirit give :
Call me, thou Son of God, that I
May hear thy voice, and live.
2 While, full of anguish and disease.
My weak distemper'd soul
Convinced of Sin I 33
Thy love compassionately sees,
0 let it make me whole !
3 Cast out thy foes, and let them still
To Jesu's Name submit :
Clothe with thy righteousness, and heal,
And place me at thy feet.
4 To Jesu's Name if all things now
A trembling homage pay ;
O let my stubborn spirit bow,
My stiff-neck'd will obey !
5 Impotent, dumb, and deaf, and blind,
And sick, and poor 1 am ;
But sure a remedy to find
For all in Jesu's Name.
6 I know in thee all fulness dwells,
And all for wretched man :
Fill every want my spirit feels,
And break off every chain !
7 If thou impart thyself to me,
No other good I need :
If thou, the Son, shalt make me free,
1 shall be free indeed.
8 I cannot rest, till in thy blood
I full redemption have :
But thou, through whom I come to God,
Canst to the utmost save.
9 From sin, the guilt, the power, the pain,
Thou wilt redeem my soul :
Lord, I believe, and not in vain ;
My faith shall make me whole.
10 I too, with thee, shall walk in white ;
With all thy saints shall prove,
What is the length, and breadth, and height,
And depth of perfect love.
it)4 For Mourners
HYMN 137. s. m.
J A^THEN shall thy love constrain
' * And force me to thy breast ?
When shall my soul return again
To her eternal rest ?
2 Ah ! what avails my strife,
My wandering to and fro ?
Thou hast the words of endless life
Ah ! whither should I go ?
3 Thy condescending grace
