Christian Perfection Justifying Grace Repentance
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,
