In every place and age the same ?
Hast thou forgot thy gracious skill,
Or lost the virtue of thy name ?
4 Faith in thy changeless name I have ;
The good, the kind Physician, thou
Art able now our souls to save,
Art willing to restore them now.
Seeking for full Redemption. 379
5 Though seventeen hundred years are past
Since thou didst in the flesh appear,
Thy tender mercies ever last ;
And still thy healing power is here !
6 Wouldst thou the body's health restore,
And not regard the sin-sick soul?
The sin -sick soul thou lov'st much more,
And surely thou shalt make it whole.
7 All my disease, my every sin,
To thee, O Jesus, I confess :
In pardon, Lord, my cure begin,
And perfect it in holiness.
8 That token of thine utmost good
Now, Saviour, now on me bestow ;
And purge my conscience with thy blood,
And wash my nature white as snow.
HYMN 398. 7>s.
1 CAVIOUR of the sin-sick soul,
^ Give me faith to make me whole !
Finish thy great work of grace,
Cut it short in righteousness.
2 Speak the second time, "Be clean !"
Take away my inbred sin ;
Every stumbling-block remove ;
Cast it out by perfect love.
3 Nothing less will I require,
Nothing more can I desire :
None but Christ to me be given !
None but Christ in earth or heaven
4 O that I might now decrease !
O that all I am might cease !
Let me into nothing fall,
Let my Lord be all in all !
oo\) Seeking for full Redemption,
HYMN 399. 7's.
1 IGHT of Life, seraphic fire,
J-^ Love Divine, thyself impart ;
Every fainting soul inspire ;
Shine in every drooping heart !
Every mournful sinner cheer ;
Scatter all our guilty gloom ;
Son of God, appear, appear !
To thy human temples come.
2 Come, in this accepted hour ;
Bring thy heavenly kingdom in !
Fill us with the glorious power,
Rooting out the seeds of sin :
Nothing more can we require,
We will covet nothing less ;
Be thou all our heart's desire,
All our joy, and all our peace !
HYMN 400. 7's.
