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,
