1 TESUS comes with all his grace,
*J Comes to save a fallen race ;
Object of our glorious hope,
Jesus comes to lift us up !
2 Let the living stones cry out ;
Let the sons of Abraham shout :
Praise we all our lowly King,
Give him thanks, rejoice, and sing.
3 He hath our salvation wrought ;
He our captive souls hath bought ;
He hath reconciled to God ;
He hath wash'd us in his blood.
Scekmg for full Redemption. 381
4 We are now his lawful right,
Walk as children of the light :
We shall soon obtain the grace,
Pure in heart, to see his face.
5 We shall gain our calling's prize ;
After God we all shall rise,
Fill'd with joy, and love, and peace,
Perfected in holiness.
6 Let us then rejoice in hope,
Steadily to Christ look up ;
Trust to be redeem'd from sin,
Wait, till he appear within.
7 Fools and madmen let us be,
Yet is our sure trust in thee :
Faithful is the promised word,
We shall all be as our Lord.
8 Hasten, Lord, the perfect day !
Let thy every servant say,
" I have now obtain 'd the power,
Born of God, to sin no more."
Mark ix. 23.
ALL things are possible
That can in Jesu's na

name believe :
Lord, I no more thy truth blaspheme,
Thy truth I lovingly receive ;
I can, I do believe in thee ;
All things are possible to me.
The most impossible of all
Is, that I e'er from sin should cease ;
Yet shall it be, 1 know it shall ;
Jesus, look to thy faithfulness !
If nothing is too hard for thee,
All things are possible to me.
uoz, Seeking for full Redemption.
3 Though earth and hell the word gainsay,
The word of God can never fail ;
The Lamb shall take my sins away ;
'Tis certain, though impossible :
The thing impossible shall be ;
All things are possible to me.
4 When thou the work of faith hast wrought,
I here shall in thine image shine,
Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought ;
Let men exclaim, and fiends repine,
They cannot break the firm decree ;
All things are possible to me.
5 Thy mouth, O Lord, hath spoke, hath sworn,
