If I rightly read thy heart, If thou all compassion art, Bow thine ear, in mercy bow ! Pardon and accept me now. 6 Pity from thine eye let fall ; By a look my soul recall ; Now the stone to flesh convert, Cast a look, and break my heart. Now incline me to repent ; Let me now my fall lament ; Now my foul revolt deplore ; Weep, believe, and sin no more * HYMN 169. c. m. 1 TESUS, the all-restoring Word, *J My fallen spirit's hope, After thy lovely likeness, Lord, Ah, when shall I wake up ? 2 Thou, O my God, thou only art The Life, the Truth, the Way : Quicken my soul, instruct my heart My sinking footsteps stay. 3 Of all thou hast in earth below, In heaven above, to give, Give me thy only love to know, In thee to walk and live. 4 Fill me with all the life of love ; In mystic union join Me to thyself, and let me prove The fellowship divine. Convinced of Backsliding. 1 O / 5 Open the intercourse between My longing soul and thee, Never to be broke off again To all eternity. HYMN 170. 6-8's. 1 (~\ 'TIS enough, my God, my God ! ^-* Here let me give my wanderings o'er ; No longer trample on thy blood, And grieve thy gentleness no more ; No more thy lingering anger move, Or sin against thy light and love. 2 O Lord, if mercy is with thee, Now let it all on me be shown ; On me, the chief of sinners, me, Who humbly for thy mercy groan : Me to thy Father's grace restore ; Nor let me ever grieve thee more ! 3 Fountain of unexhausted love, Of infinite compassions, hear ! My Saviour and my Prince above, Once more in my behalf appear ; Repentance, faith, and pardon give ; O let me turn again and live ! 1 f\ GOD, if thou art love indeed, ^-^ Let it once more be proved in me, That I thy mercy's praise may spread, For every child of Adam free : O let me now the gift embrace ; O let me now be saved by grace ! 2 If all long-suffering thou hast shown On me, that others may believe, Now make thy lovingkindness known,
