With lamb-like patience arm my breast ;
When grief my wounded soul assails,
In lowly meekness may I rest.
4 Close by thy side still may 1 keep,
Howe'er life's various current flow ;
With steadfast eye mark every step,
And follow thee where'er thou go.
5 Thou, Lord, the dreadful tight hast won ;
Alone thou hast the winepress trod :
In me thy strength' ning grace be shown ;
O may I conquer through thy blood !
For Believer}; Suffering. o2 I
6 So, when on Sion thou shalt stand,
And all heaven's host adore their King,
Shall I be found at thy right hand,
And free from pain thy glories sing.
HYMN 339. l. m.
1 f\ THOU, to whose all-searching sight
^-^ The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart ; it pants for thee ;
O burst these bonds, and set it free !
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross,
Nail my affections to the cross ;
Hallow each thought ; let all within
Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean !
3 If in this darksome wild I stray,
Be thou my Light, be thou my Way ;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No fraud, while thou, my God, art near.
4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus, thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.
5 Saviour, where'er thy steps J see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee !
O let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill !
6 If rough and thorny be the way,
My strength proportion to my day ;
Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.
Seeking for full Redemption.
HYMN 340. s. m.
1 'T'HE thing my God doth hate
A That I no more may do,
Thy creature, Lord, again create,
And all my soul renew :
My soul shall then, like thine,
Ahhor the thing unclean,
And, sanctified by love divine,
For ever cease from sin.
2 That blessed law of thine,
Jesus, to me impart :
The Spirit's law of life divine,
O write it in my heart !
Implant it deep within,
Whence it may ne'er remove ;
The law of liberty from sin,
The perfect law of love.
