3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want ;
More than all in thee I find :
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind :
Just and holy is thy Name ;
I am all unrighteousness :
False and full of sin I am ;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within :
Thou of life the fountain art ;
Freely let me take of thee ;
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
HYMN 144. 8's §• Vs.
1 HHHEE, Jesu, thee, the Sinner's Friend,
A I follow on to apprehend,
Renew the glorious strife ;
Divinely confident and bold,
With faith's strong arm on thee lay hold,
Thee, my eternal life.
2 Thy heart, I know, thy tender heart
Doth in my sorrows feel its part,
And at my tears relent !
142 For Mourners
My powerful sighs thou canst not bear
Nor stand the violence of my prayer,
My prayer omnipotent.
3 Give me the grace, the love I claim :
Thy Spirit now demands thy Name !
Thou know'st the Spirit's will :
He helps my soul's infirmity,
And strongly intercedes for me
With groans, unspeakable.
4 Answer, O Lord, thy Spirit's groan !
O make to me thy Nature known,
Thy hidden Name impart !
(Thy Name and Nature is the same :)
Tell me thy Nature, and thy Name,
And write it on my heart.
5 Prisoner of hope, to thee I turn,
And, calmly confident, I mourn,
And pray, and weep for thee :
Tell me thy love, thy secret tell ;
Thy mystic name in me reveal,
Reveal thyself in me.
() Descend, pass by me, and proclaim,
O Lord of Hosts, thy glorious Name,--
The Lord, the gracious Lord,
Long-suffering, merciful, and kind,
The God who always bears in mind
His everlasting word.
7 Plenteous he is in truth and grace ;
He wills that all the fallen race
Should turn, repent, and live ;
His pardoning grace for all is free ;
Transgression, sin, iniquity,
He freely doth forgive.
Convinced of Sin. ' 4o
8 Mercy he doth for thousands keep ;
He goes and seeks the one lost sheep,
