Christology Justifying Grace Pneumatology Repentance
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,
