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.

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.
