3 Lord, I will not let thee go,
Till the blessing thou bestow :
Hear my Advocate Divine !
Lo ! to his my suit I join ;
Join'd to his, it cannot fail :
Bless me ; for I will prevail !
4 Heavenly Father, Life Divine,
Change my nature into thine !
Move and spread throughout my soul,
Actuate and fill the whole !
Be it I no longer now
Living in the flesh, but Thou.
5 Holy Ghost, no more delay !
Come, and in thy temple stay !
Now thine inward witness bear,
Strong, and permanent, and clear :
Spring of Life, thyself impart :
Rise eternal in my heart !
o74 Seeking for full Redemption.
HYMN 391. l.m.
Ezekiel xxxvi. 25, &c.
1 /^ OD of all power, and truth, and grace,
^J Which shall from age to age endure ;
Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass,
Remains and stands for ever sure :
2 That I thy mercy may proclaim,
That all mankind thy truth may see,
Hallow thy great and glorious name,
And perfect holiness in me.
3 Thy sanctifying Spirit pour,
To quench my thirst, and make me clean .
Now, Father, let the gracious shower
Descend, and make me pure from sin.
4 Purge me from every sinful blot ;
My idols all be cast aside ;
Cleanse me from every sinful thought,
From all the filth of self and pride.
5 Give me a new, a perfect heart,
From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free ;
The mind which was in Christ impart,
And let my spirit cleave to thee.
(> O take this heart of stone away !
Thy sway it doth not, cannot own :
In me no longer let it stay ;
O take away this heart of stone !
7 O that I now, from sin released,
Thy word may to the utmost prove,
Enter into the promised rest,
The Canaan of thy perfect love !
HYMN 392. l. m.
1 T^ATHER, supply my every need ;
r Sustain the life thyself hast given ;
Seeking for full Redemption. 3/5
Call for the never-failing bread,
The manna that comes down from heaven.
2 The gracious fruits of righteousness,
Thy blessings' unexhausted store,
In me abundantly increase ;
Nor ever let me hunger more.
3 Let me no more, in deep complaint,
