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.
