And have thee all my own ;
Thee, O my all-sufficient Good !
I want, and thee alone.
C Thy name to me, thy nature grant ;
This, only this be given ;
Nothing beside my God I want ;
Nothing in earth or heaven.
7 Come, O my Saviour, come away !
Into my soul descend ;
No longer from thy creature stay,
My Author and my End !
8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
And seal me thine abode !
Let all T am in thee be lost ;
Let all be lost in God.
HYMN 404. 8's8r6's.
1 r\ GLORIOUS hope of perfect love!
^^ It lifts me up to things above ;
It bears on eagles' wings ;
It gives my ravish'd soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesu's priests and kings.
Seeking for full Redemption. 385
2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain -top
See all the land helow :
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of Paradise
In endless plenty grow.
3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favour'd with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest ;
There dwells the Lord our Righteousness,
And keeps his own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.
4 O that I might at once go up !
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess :
This moment end my legal years ;
Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears,
A howling wilderness.
5 Now, O my Joshua, bring me in !
Cast out thy foes ; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind, remove ;
The purchase of thy death divide !
And O I with all the sanctified
Give me a lot of love !

1 (~\ JOYFUL sound of gospel grace !
^^ Christ shall in me appear ;
I, even I, shall see his face ;
I shall be holy here.
2 This heart shall be his constant home ;
I hear his Spirit's cry :
" Surely," he saith, " I quickly come ;
He saith, who cannot lie.

3 The glorious crown of righteousness
To me reach' d out I view ;
Conqu'ror through him, I soon shall seize,
And wear it as my due.
