Thy all-redeeming love.
Convinced of Sin. lo9
HYMN 163. l. m.
1 A7E7HEN, gracious Lord, when shall it be,
▼ ▼ That 1 shall find my all in thee ?
The fulness of thy promise prove ;
The seal of thine eternal Love ?
2 A poor, blind child, I wander here,
If haply I may feel thee near !
0 dark ! dark ! dark ! I still must say,
Amid the blaze of gospel day !
3 Thee, only thee, I fain would find,
And cast the world and flesh behind ;
Thou, only thou, to me be given,
Of all thou hast in earth or heaven.
4 Whom man forsakes, thou wilt not leave,
Ready the outcasts to receive ;
Though all my simpleness I own,
And all my faults to thee are known.
5 Ah, wherefore did I ever doubt !
Thou wilt in no wise cast me out,
A helpless soul that comes to thee,
With only sin and misery.
6 Lord, I am sick, -- my sickness cure ;
1 want, -- do thou enrich the poor ;
Under thy mighty hand I stoop,
O lift the abject sinner up !
7 Lord, I am blind, -- be thou my sight ;
Lord, I am weak, -- -be thou my might :
A helper of the helpless be,
And let me find my all in thee !

HYMN 164. 7's Sf 6's.
The Woman of Canaan. Matt. xv. 22--28
1 ORD, regard my earnest cry ;
-L' A potsherd of the earth,
A poor guilty worm, am I,
A Canaanite by birth :
Save me from this tyranny ;
From all the power of Satan save ;
Mercy, mercy upon me,
Thou Son of David, have !
2 To the sheep of Israel's fold
Thou in thy flesh wast sent ;
Yet the Gentiles now behold
In thee their Covenant :
See me then, with pity see,
A sinner whom thou cam'st to save f
Mercy, mercy upon me,
Thou Son of David, have!
3 Still I cannot part with thee !
I will not let thee go :
Mercy, mercy upon me,
Thou Son of David, show !
Vilest of the sinful race,
On thee, importunate, I call :
Help me, Jesus, show thy grace ;
Thy grace is free for all.
4 Nothing am I in thy sight ;
