That I shall serve thee without fear,
Shall find the pearl which others spurn,
Holy, and pure, and perfect here :
The servant as his Lord shall be ;
All things are possible to me.
6 All things are possible to God,
To Christ, the power of God in man,
To me, when I am all renew'd,
When I in Christ am form'd again,
And witness, from all sin set free,
All things are possible to me.
HYMN 402. 7's8f6's.
1 f\ MIGHT I this moment cease
^S From every work of mine;
Find the perfect holiness,
The righteousness divine !
Let me thy salvation see ;
Let me do thy perfect will ;
Live in glorious liberty,
And all thy fulness feel.
Seeking for full Redemption.
O cut short the work, and make
Me now a creature new ;
For thy truth and mercy's sake,
The gracious wonder show :
Call me forth thy witness, Lord ;
Let my life declare thy power ;
To thy perfect love restored,
O let me sin no more !
Fain I would the truth proclaim,
That makes me free indeed,
Glorify my Saviour's Name,
And all its virtues spread :
Jesus all our wants relieves,
Jesus, mighty to redeem,
Saves, and to the utmost saves,
All those that come to him.
Perfect then thy mighty power
In a weak, sinful worm !
All my sins destroy, devour,
And all my soul transform !
Now apply thy Spirit's seal ;
O come quickly from ahove !
Empty me of sin, and fill
With all the life of love.
HYMN 403. c. m.
1 ORD, 1 helieve a rest remains,
■*-^ To all thy people known,
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And thou art loved alone :
2 A rest, where all our soul's desire
Is fix'd on things ahove ;
Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love
oo4 Seeking fur full Redemption.
3 O that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in !
Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.
4 Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove :
To me the rest of faith impart,
The sabbath of thy love.
5 I would be thine, thou know'st I would,
