From thee, my Lord, to move : That I never, never more, May with my much-loved Master part, To the posts of mercy's door O nail my willing heart ! 5 See my utter helplessness, And leave me not alone ; O preserve in perfect peace, And seal me for thine own : More and more thyself reveal, Thy presence let me always find : Comfort, and confirm, and heal My feeble, sin -sick mind. 6 As the apple of an eye Thy weakest servant keep ; Help me at thy feet to lie, And there for ever weep : Tears of joy mine eyes o'erflow, That I have any hope of heaven ; Much of love I ought to know, For I have much forgiven. Rejoicing HYMN 189. 6-8's. OW I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul's anchor may remain : The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world's foundation slain ; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far : Thy heart still melts with tenderness ; Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, thou bottomless abyss ! My sins are swallow'd up in thee ; Cover* d is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesu's blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries ! 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea ; Here is my hope, my joy, my rest ; Hither, when hell assails, I flee ; I look into my Saviour's breast ; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear ! Mercy is all that 's written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be wither'd all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn ; 1 OO For Believers Rejoicing . On this my steadfast soul relies : Father, thy mercy never dies. 6 Fix'd on this around will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay ; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away ; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.
