Christian Perfection Justifying Grace Pneumatology Sanctifying Grace
My treasure, and my all thou art ! True witness of my sonship, now Engraving pardon on my heart, Seal of my sins in Christ forgiven, Earnest of love, and pledge of heaven. 5 Come, then, my God, mark out thine heir; Of heaven a larger earnest give ! With clearer light thy witness bear ; More sensibly within me live ; Let all my powers thine entrance feel, And deeper stamp thyself the seal ! Seeking for full Redemption. d59 1 OAVIOUR from sin, I wait to prove ^ That Jesus is thy healing name ; To lose, when perfected in love, Whate'er I have, or can, or am : I stay me on thy faithful word, "The servant shall be as his Lord." 2 Answer that gracious end in me, For which thy precious life was given ; Redeem from all iniquity ; Restore, and make me meet for heaven ! Unless thou purge my every stain, Thy suffering and my faith are vain. 3 Didst thou not in the flesh appear, Sin to condemn, and man to save? That perfect love might cast out fear ? That I thy mind in me might have ? In holiness show forth thy praise, And serve thee all my spotless days ? 4 Didst thou not die that I might live No longer to myself but thee ? Might body, soul, and spirit, give To him who gave himself for me ? Come then, my Master, and my God, Take the dear purchase of thy blood. 5 Thy own peculiar servant claim, For thy own truth and mercy's sake ; Hallow in me thy glorious name ; Me for thine own this moment lake. And change and throughly purify ; Thine only may I live and die. •JOO Seeking fur full Redemption. J WANT the spirit of power within, JL Of love, and of a healthful mind ; Of power, to conquer inbred sin ; Of love, to thee and all mankind ; Of health, that pain and death defies, Most vigorous when the bodv dies. 2 When shall I hear the inward voice, Which only faithful souls can hear ? Pardon, and peace, and heavenly joys, Attend the promised Comforter ; 0 come, and righteousness divine, And Christ, and all with Christ, aie mine! A O that the Comforter would come !
