2o\' For Relievers Rejoicing. 3 By our bosom -foe beset, Taken in the fowler's net, Passion's unresisting prey, Oft within the toils we lay : Sleeping on the brink of sin, Tophet gaped to take us in ; Mercy to our rescue flew, Broke the snare, and brought us through. 4 Here, as in the lion's den, Undevour'd we still remain ; Pass secure the watery flood, Hanging on the arm of God : Here we raise our voices higher, Shout in the refiner's fire ; Clap our hands amidst the flame, Glory give to Jesu's name.

Unfathomable depths thou art ; O plunge me in thy mercy's sea ! Void of true wisdom is my heart ; With love embrace and cover me ! While thee, all- infinite, I set By faith before my ravish 'd eye, My weakness bends beneath the weight ; O'erpower'd I sink, I faint, T die! -'O'Z Jfcr Believers Rejoicing. 2 Eternity thy fountain was,
