Well-pleasing in thy sight. I ask no higher state ; Indulge me but in this, And soon or later then translate To my eternal bliss. Seeking for full Redemption. oDO HYMN 368. 7's §• 6Y 1 T^ATHER, see this living clod, -*- This spark of heavenly fire ; See my soul, the breath of God, Doth after God aspire : Let it still to heaven ascend, Till I my principle rejoin, Blended with my glorious end, And lost in love divine. 2 Lord, if thou from me hast broke The power of outward sin, Burst this Babylonish yoke, And make me free within : Bid my inbred sin depart, And I thy utmost word shall prove, Upright both in life and heart, And perfected in love. 3 God of all-sufficient grace, My God in Christ thou art ; Bid me walk before thy face, Till I am pure in heart ; Till, transform'd by faith divine, I gain that perfect love unknown, Bright in all thine image shine, By putting on thy Son. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, In council join again, To restore thine image lost By frail, apostate man : O might I thy form express, Through faith begotten from above, Stamp'd with real holiness, And fill'd with perfect love. 354 Seeking for full Redemption* HYMN 369. l. m. 1 f\ GOD, most merciful and true ! ^^ Thy nature to my soul impart ; 'Stablish with me the cov'nant new, And write perfection on my heart. 2 To real holiness restored, 0 let me gain my Saviour's mind ! And, in the knowledge of my Lord, Fulness of life eternal find. 3 Remember, Lord, my sins no more, That them I may no more forget ; But sunk in guiltless shame adore, With speechless wonder, at thy feet. 4 O'erwhelm'd with thy stupendous grace, 1 shall not in thy presence move ; But breathe unutterable praise, And rapturous awe, and silent love. 5 Then every murmuring thought and vain Expires, in sweet confusion lost ; I cannot of my cross complain ; I cannot of my goodness boast. 6 Pardon'd for all that I have done, My mouth as in the dust I hide ; And glory give to God alone, My God for ever pacified !
