Feeble, and faint, and blind, and poor ; Weary, I come to thee for rest, And sick of sin, implore a cure. 4 My sin's incurable disease Thou, Jesus, thou alone, canst heal ; Inspire me with thy power and peace, And pardon on my conscience Seal. 5 A touch, a word, a look from thee, Can turn my heart, and make it clean ; Purge the foul, inbred leprosy, And save me from my bosom-sin. 6 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe Thou canst the saving grace impart ; Thou canst this instant now forgive, And stamp thine image on my heart. 7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, I know thou canst this moment cleanse ; The deepest stains of sin efface, And drive the evil spirit hence. 8 Be it according to thy word ; Accomplish now thy work in me ; And let my soul, to health restored, Devote its little all to thee. HYMN 396. l. m. 1 /^\ THOU, whom once they fiock'd. to hear, ^-^ Thy words to hear, thy power to feel ; Suffer the sinners to draw near, And graciously receive us still. 2 They that be whole, thyself hast said, No need of a physician have ; But I am sick, and want thine aid, And want thine utmost power to save. »i7o Seeking for full Redemption. 3 Thy power, and truth, and love divine, The same from age to age endure ; A word, a gracious word of thine, The most inveterate plague can cure. 4 Helpless howe'er my spirit lies, And long hath languished at the pool, A word of thine shall make me rise, And speak me in a moment whole. 5 Eighteen, or eight and thirty, years, Or thousands, are alike to thee : Soon as thy saving grace appears, My plague is gone, my heart is free. b Make this the acceptable hour ! Come, O my soul's Physician, thou! Display thy sanctifying power, And show me thy salvation now. i HYMN 397. l. m. TESU, thy far-extended fame My drooping soul exults to hear ; Thy name, thy all-restoring name, Is music in a sinner's ear. 2 Sinners of old thou didst receive, With comfortable words and kind, Their sorrows cheer, their wants relieve Heal the diseased, and cure the blind. 3 And art thou not the Saviour still,
