The man f sin consume ;
Slay him with thy Spirit, Lord ;
Reign thou in my heart alone ;
Speak the sanctifying word,
And seal me all thine own.
HYMN 384. c. m.
1 KNOW that my Redeemer lives,
A And ever prays for me ;
A token of his love he gives,
A pledge of liberty.
2 I find him lifting up my head,
He brings salvation near ;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And he will soon appear.
t)()o Seeking for fall Redemption.
3 He wills that I should holy he ;
What can withstand his will ?
The counsel of his grace in me
He surely shall fulfil.
4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word ;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to thyself receive.
5 Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
To meet thee from above,
Thy goodness thankfully adores ;
And sure I taste thy love.
6 Thy love I soon expect to find,
In all its depth and height ;
To comprehend the' Eternal Mind,
And grasp the Infinite.
7 When God is mine, and I am his,
Of paradise possest,
I taste unutterable bliss,
And everlasting rest.
8 The bliss of those that fully dwell,
Fully in thee believe,
'Tis more than angel-tongues can tell,
Or angel -minds conceive.
9 Thou only know'st, who didst obtain,
And die to make it known ;
The great salvation now explain,
And perfect us in one !
HYMN 385. 8's§ 7's.
I OVE Divine, all loves excelling,
-" Joy of heaven, to earth come down ;
Seeking for full Redemption. 369
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown :
Jesus, thou art all compassion ;
Pure, unbounded love thou art ;
Visit us with thy salvation ;
Enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy grace receive ;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more, thy temples leave :
Thee we would be always blessing ;
Serve thee as thy hosts above ;
Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish, then, thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be ;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in thee :
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
