Christian Perfection
3 Rest for my soul I long to find : Saviour of all, if mine thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 4 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free : I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in thee. 5 Fain would 1 learn of thee, my God ; Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross, all stain 'd with hallovv'd blood, The labour of thy dying love. 2 A i? 372 Seeking for full Redemption, (> I would, but thou must give the power ; My heart from every sin release ; Bring near, bring near, the joyful hour, And fill me with thy perfect peace. 7 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer, Nor let thy chariot wheels delay ; Appear, in my poor heart appear ! My God, my Saviour, come away ! HYMN 389. c. m. 1 r\ JESUS, at thy feet we wait, ^^ Till thou shalt bid us rise, Restored to our unsinning state, To love's sweet paradise. 2 Saviour from sin, we thee receive, From all indwelling sin : Thy blood, we steadfastly believe, Shall make us throughly clean. 3 Since thou would'st have us free from sin, And pure as those above, Make haste to bring thy nature in, And perfect us in love. 4 The counsel of thy love fulfil ; Come quickly, gracious Lord ! Be it, according to thy will, According to thy word ! 5 According to our faith in thee Let it to us be done ; O that we all thy face might see, And know as we are known ! (> O that the perfect grace were given, The love diffused abroad ! O that our hearts were all a heaven, For ever fill'd with God ! Seeking for full Redemption. 373 HYMN 390. 6-J's. 1 OINCE the Son hath made me free, ^ Let me taste my liberty ; Thee behold with open face, Triumph in thy saving grace ; Thy great will delight to prove, Glory in thy perfect love. 2 Abba, Father! hear thy chjld, Late in Jesus reconciled ; Hear, and all the graces shower, All the joy, and peace, and power, All my Saviour asks above, All the life and heaven of love.
