3 The world, sin, death, oppose in vain ; Thou, by thy dying, death hast slain, My great Deliverer, and my God ! In vain does the old Dragon rage, In vain all hell its powers engage ; None can withstand thy conquering blood. 4 Lord over all, sent to fulfil Thy gracious Father's sovereign will, To thy dread sceptre will I bow : With duteous reverence at thy feet, Like humble Mary, lo ! I sit ; Speak, Lord ! thy servant heareth now. 5 Renew thine image, Lord, in me ; Lowly and gentle may I be ; No charms but these to thee are dear : No anger may'st thou ever find, No pride, in my unruffled mind, But faith, and heaven-born peace, be there ! 6 A patient, a victorious mind, That life and all things casts behind. Springs forth obedient to thy call, A heart that no desire can move, But still to' adore, believe, and love, Give me, my Lord, my Life, my All ! 33b Seeking for full Redemption. HYMN 354.

Dry corruption's fountain up, Cut off the' entail of sin : Take me into thee, my Lord, And I shall then no longer rove : Help me, Saviour, speak the word. And perfect me in love.
