Means of Grace
6 From thee no more shall I depart, No more unfaithful prove : But love thee with a constant heart ; For angels always love. 7 1 all thy holy will shall prove : I, a weak, sinful worm, When thee with all my heart I love, Shall all thy law perform. 8 The graces of my second birth To me shall all be given ; And I shall do thy will on earth, As angels do in heaven. HYMN 358. 7's8f6's. 1 /^APEN, Lord, my inward ear, ^^ And bid my heart rejoice ; Bid my quiet spirit hear Thy comfortable voice ; Never in the whirlwind found, Or where earthquakes rock the place, Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of thy grace. 2 From the world of sin, and noise, And hurry, I withdraw ; For the small and inward voice I wait with humble awe ; Silent am I now and still, Dare not in thy presence move ; To my waiting soul reveal The secret of thy love. •342 Seeking for full Redemption. 3 Thou didst undertake for me, For me to death wast sold ; Wisdom in a mystery Of bleeding love unfold : Teach the lesson of thy cross, Let me die with thee to reign ; All things let me count but loss, So 1 may thee regain. 4 Show me, as my soul can bear, The depth of inbred sin ; All the unbelief declare, The pride that lurks within : Take me, whom thyself hast bought ; Bring into captivity Every high aspiring thought, That would not stoop to thee. 5 Lord, my time is in thy hand, My soul to thee convert ; Thou canst make me understand, Though I am slow of heart : Thine in whom I live and move, Thine the work, the praise is thine; Thou art Wisdom, Power, and Love, And all thou art is mine. HYMN 359. TsSf&s. Dan. iii. GOD of Israel's faithful Three, Who braved a tyrant's ire, Nobly scorn'd to bow the knee, And walk'd unhurt in fire : Breathe their faith into my breast ; Arm me in this fiery hour ; Stand, O Son of Man, contest In all thy saving power ! Seeking' for full Redemption. 343 2 For while thou, my Lord, art nigh, My soul disdains to fear ; Sin and Satan I defy,
