Sanctifying Grace
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
