Means of Grace
7 Sworn to destroy, let earth assail ; Nearer to save thou art : Stronger than all the powers of hell, And greater than my heart. 8 Lo ! to the hills I lift mine eye ; Thy promised aid I claim : Father of Mercies, glorify Thy favourite Jesu's Name. J) Salvation in that name is found, Balm of my grief and care ; A medicine for my every wound, All, all I want is there. HYMN 139. cm. 1 TESU ! Redeemer, Saviour, Lord, *J The weary sinner's friend ; Come to my help, pronounce the word, And hid my troubles end. 2 Deliverance to my soul proclaim, And life, and liberty : Shed forth the virtue of thy Name, And Jesus prove to me ! 3 Faith to be heal'd thou know'st I have ; For thou that faith hast given : Thou canst, thou wilt the sinner save, And make me meet for heaven. Convinced of Sin. \oJ 4 Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine ; Thou wilt victorious prove ; For everlasting strength is thine, And everlasting love. 5 Thy powerful Spirit shall subdue Unconquerable sin ; Cleanse this foul heart, and make it new, And write thy law within. 6 Bound down with twice ten thousand ties, Yet let me hear thy call, My soul in confidence shall rise, Shall rise and break through all. 7 Speak, and the deaf shall hear thy voice ; The blind his sight receive ; The dumb in songs of praise rejoice ; The heart of stone believe. 8 The Ethiop then shall change his skin : The dead shall feel thy power ; The loathsome leper shall be clean, And I shall sin no more. 1 /^
