Seeking for full Redemption. 3oi
Saviour, to thee I still look up ;
I see an open door of hope ;
And wait thy fulness to receive.
9 How shall I thank thee for the grace,
The trust I have to see thy face,
When sin shall all he purged away !
The night of doubts and fears is past ;
The Morning- Star appears at last,
And I shall see the perfect day.
I SOON shall hear thy quick'ning voi<
Shall always pray, give thanks, rejoi<
oice,
joice
(This is thy will and faithful word ;)
My spirit meek, my will resign' d ;
Lowly as thine shall be my mind ;
The servant shall be as his Lord.
2 Already, Lord, I feel thy power ;
Preserved from evil every hour,
My great Preserver 1 proclaim :
Safety and strength in thee I have ;
I find, I find thee strong to save,
And know that Jesus is thy name.
3 By faith I every moment stand,
Strangely upheld by thy right hand ;
I my own wickedness eschew ;
A sinner, I am kept from sin ;
And thou shalt make me pure within,
And thou shalt form my soul anew.
4 Come, then, and loose my stamm 'ring tongue,
Teach me the new, the joyful song,
And perfect in a babe thy praise :
002 Seeking for full Redemption.
1 want a thousand lives to' employ
In publishing the sounds of joy,
The gospel of thy general grace.
5 Come, Lord, thy Spirit bids thee come
Give me thyself, and take me home ;
Be now the glorious earnest given !
The counsel of thy grace fulfil ;
Thy kingdom come, thy perfect will
Be done on earth, as 'tis in heaven.
HYMN 367. s. m.
COME, and dwell in me,
Spirit of power within !
And bring the glorious liberty
From sorrow, fear, and sin.
The seed of sin's disease,
Spirit of health, remove,
Spirit of finish'd holiness,
Spirit of perfect love.
2 Hasten the joyful day,
Which shall my sins consume,
When old things shall be pass'd away,
And all things new become.
The' original offence
Out of my soul erase ;
Enter thyself, and drive it hence,
And take up all the place.
3 I want the witness, Lord,
That all 1 do is right,
According to thy will and word,
