Nor visit as a transient guest, But fix in me his constant home, And take possession of my breast, And fix in me his loved abode, The temple of indwelling God ! 4 Come, Holy Ghost, my heart inspire ! Attest that T am born again ; Come, and baptize me now with fire, Nor let thy former gifts be vain : 1 cannot rest in sins forgiven ; Where is the earnest of my heaven ? 5 Where the indubitable seal That ascertains the kingdom mine?

Seeking for full Redemption. 361 HYMN 377. 6-8's. 1 T^ATHER of everlasting grace, -1- Thy goodness and thy truth we praise.

Whose bowels of compassion move To me, and all the fallen race ! Whose mercy is divinely free For all the fallen race, and me ! d()2 Seeking for full Redemption. 2 I long to know, and to make known, The heights and depths of love divine, The kindness thou to me hast shown, Whose every sin was counted thine ! My God for me resign'd his breath ! He died to save my soul from death ! 3 How shall I thank thee for the grace
