4 Fully in my life express
All the heights of holiness ;
Sweetly let my spirit prove
All the depths of humble love.
HYMN 382. I'sfyVs.
Zechariah iv. 7-
1 f^l GREAT Mountain, who art thou,
^-^ Immense, immovable ?
High as heaven aspires thy brow,
Thy foot sinks deep as hell !
Thee, alas, I long have known,
Long have felt thee fixt within ;
Still beneath thy weight I groan ;
Thou art Indwelling Sin.
obb Seeking for full Redemption.
2 Thou art darkness in my mind ;
Perverseness in my will ;
Love inordinate and blind,
That always cleaves to ill ;
Every passion's wild excess ;
Anger, lust, and pride, thou art ;
Thou art sin and sinfulness,
And unbelief of heart.
3 Not by human might or power
Canst thou be moved from hence ;
But thou shalt flow down before
Divine Omnipotence :
My Zerubbabel is near :
J have not believed in vain :
Thou, when Jesus doth appear,
Shalt sink into a plain.
4 Christ the Head, the Corner- Stone ,
Shall be brought forth in me ;
Glory be to Christ alone !
His grace shall set me free :
I shall shout my Saviour's name ;
Him I evermore shall praise ;
All the work of grace proclaim,
Of sanctifying grace.
5 Christ hath the foundation laid,
And Christ shall build me up ;
Surely I shall soon be made
Partaker of my hope :
Author of my faith he is,
He its Finisher shall be ;
Perfect love shall seal me his
To all eternity.
Seeking for full Redemption. 367
1 V^THO hath slighted or contemn 'd
* » The day of feeble things ?
I shall be by grace redeemed ;
'Tis grace salvation brings :
Ready now my Saviour stands ;
Him I now rejoice to see
With the plummet in his hands,
To build and finish me.
2 I right early shall awake,
And see the perfect day ;
Soon the Lamb of God shall take
My inbred sin away :
When to me my Lord shall come,
Sin for ever shall depart ;
Jesus takes up all the room
In a believing heart.
3 Son of God arise, arise,
And to thy temple come !
Look, and with thy flaming eyes
