2 Jesu, see my panting breast !
See I pant in thee to rest !
Gladly would I now be clean :
Cleanse me now from every sin
3 Fix, O fix my wavering mind ;
To thy cross my spirit bind ;
Earthly passions far remove ;
Swallow up my soul in love.
4 Dust and ashes though we be,
Full of sin and misery,
Thine we are, thou Son of God !
Take the purchase of thy blood !
Oo2 Seeking for full Redemption.
5 Who in heart on thee believes,
He the' atonement now receives ;
He with joy beholds thy face,
Triumphs in thy pardoning grace.
6 See, ye sinners, see ! the flame,
Rising from the slaughter'd Lamb,
Marks the new, the living way,
Leading to eternal day
7 Jesus, when this light we see,
All our soul 's athirst for thee ;
When thy quick'ning power we prove,
All our heart dissolves in love.
8 Boundless wisdom, power divine,
Love unspeakable, are thine :
Praise by all to thee be given,
Sons of earth, and hosts of heaven !
HYMN 351. 6-8'*, second metre.
I pOME, Holy Ghost, all-quick'ning fire !
^-^ Come, and my hallow'd heart inspire,
Sprinkled with the atoning blood :
Now to my soul thyself reveal ;
Thy mighty working let me feel,
And know that I am born of God.
"2 Thy witness with my spirit bear,
That God, my God, inhabits there,
Thou, with the Father, and the Son,
Eternal light's co-eval beam : --
Be Christ in me, and I in him,
Till perfect we are made in one.
3 When wilt thou my whole heart subdue ?
Come, Lord, and form my soul anew,
Emptied of pride, and wrath, and hell:
Seeking for full Redemption. 333
Less than the least of all thy store
Of mercies, I myself abhor :
All, all my vileness may I feel.
4 Humble, and teachable, and mild,
0 may I, as a little child,
My lowly Master's steps pursue !
Be anger to my soul unknown ;
Hate, envy, jealousy, be gone ;
In love create thou all things new.
5 Let earth no more my heart divide ;
With Christ may I be crucified,
To thee with my whole soul aspire ;
Dead to the world and all its toys,
Its idle pomp, and fading joys,
