Means of Grace
On thee alone for strength depend ; Nor have I power from thee to move ; Thy Nature and thy Name is Love. 7 Lame as I am, I take the prey ; Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o'ercome ; I leap for joy, pursue my way, And, as a bounding hart, fly home ; Through all eternity to prove Thy Nature and thy Name is Love. HYMN 142. fs. 1 T^VROOPING soul, shake off thy fears ; *-J Fearful soul, be strong, be bold ; Tarry till the Lord appears, Never, never quit thy hold ! Murmur not at his delay, Dare not set thy God a time : 140 For Mourners Calmly for his coming stay, Leave it, leave it all to him. 12 Fainting soul, be bold, be strong ; Wait the leisure of thy Lord : Though it seem to tarry long, True and faithful is his word ! On his word mv soul I cast : (He cannot himself deny ;) Surely it shall speak at last ; It shall speak, and shall not lie. 3 Every one that seeks shall find ; Every one that asks shall have ; Christ, the Saviour of mankind, Willing, able, all to save ; I shall his salvation see ; I in faith on Jesus call ; I from sin shall be set free, Perfectly set free from all. 4 Lord, my time is in thine hand ; Weak and helpless as I am, Surely thou canst make me stand ; I believe in Jesu's Name : Saviour in temptation thou, Thou hast saved me heretofore ; Thou from sin dost save me now ; Thou shalt save me evermore. *HYMN 143. ft. 1 TESU, Lover of my soul, *J Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high : Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past ; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last ! Convinced of Sin . 1 4 ] "2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee ; Leave, ah ! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me : All my trust on thee is stay'd ; All my help from thee I bring ; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing.
