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 !
