*3o4 Seeking for full Redemption. Surely we shall thy mercy find ; Who ask, shall all receive thy love; Nor canst thou it to me deny ; 1 ask, the chief of sinners I ! 4 O ye of fearful hearts, be strong! Your downcast eyes and hands lift up ! Ye shall not be forgotten long ; Hope to the end, in Jesus hope ! Tell him, ye wait his grace to prove, And cannot fail, if God is love ! 5 Prisoners of hope, be strong, be bold ; Cast off your doubts, disdain to fear! Dare to believe ; on Christ lay hold ! Wrestle with Christ in mighty prayer ; Tell him, " We will not let thee go, Till we thy name, thy nature know." 6 Hast thou not died to purge our sin, And risen, thy death for us to plead ? To write thy law of love within Our hearts, and make us free indeed? That we our Eden might regain, Thou diedst ; and couldst not die in vain 7 Lord, we believe, and wait the hour Which all thy great salvation brings ; The Spirit of love, and health, and power, Shall come, and make us priests and kings , Thou wilt perform thy faithful word, " The servant shall be as his Lord." 8 The promise stands for ever sure, And we shall in thine image shine, Partakers of a nature pure, Holy, angelical, divine ; In Spirit join'd to thee the Son, As thou art with tliv Father one Seeking for full Redemption. 365 9 Faithful and true, we now receive The promise ratified hy thee : To thee the when and how we leave, In time and in eternity ; We only hang upon thy word, " The servant shall be as his Lord.'* HYMN 381. Ts. 1 Tl^HEN, my Saviour, shall I be * * Perfectly resign'd to thee ? Poor and vile in my own eyes, Only in thy wisdom wise ! 2 Only thee content to know, Ignorant of all below ; Only guided by thy light ; Only mighty in thy might ! 3 So I may thy Spirit know, Let him as he listeth blow ; Let the manner be unknown, So I may with thee be one.
