I now exult to see ;
My hope is full (O glorious hope !)
Of immortality.
5 He visits now the house of clay ;
He shakes his future home ;
O would'st thou, Lord, on this glad day,
Into thy temple come !
6 With me I know, I feel, thou art ;
But this cannot suffice,
Unless thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise.
7 My earth thou waterest from on high ;
But make it all a pool :
Spring up, O Well, I ever cry,
Spring up within my soul !
8 Come, O my God, thyself reveal,
Fill all this mighty void ;
Thou only canst my spirit fill :
Come, O my God, my God !
9 Fulfil, fulfil my large desires,
Large as infinity ;
Give, give me all my soul requires,
All, all that is in thee!
HYMN 406. c. m.
1 ^IIITHAT is our calling's glorious hope,
» ^ But inward holiness ?
For this to Jesus I look up,
I calmly wait for this.
2 I wait, till he shall touch me clean,
Shall life and power impart,
Seeking for full Redemption. 3o7
Give me the faith that casts out sin,
And purines the heart.
3 This is the dear redeeming grace,
For every sinner free ;
Surely it shall on me take place,
The chief of sinners, me.
4 From all iniquity, from all,
He shall my soul redeem ;
In Jesus I believe, and shall
Believe myself to him.
5 When Jesus makes my heart his home,
My sin shall all depart ;
And, lo ! he saith, " I quickly come,
To fill and rule thy heart ! "
6 Be it according to thy word !
Redeem me from all sin :
My heart would now receive thee, Lord ;
Come in, my Lord, come in !

1 INTONE is like Jeshurun's God,
■*-^l So great, so strong, so high :
Lo ! he spreads his wings abroad,
He rides upon the sky :
Israel is his first-born son :
God, the' Almighty God, is thine ;
See him to thy help come down,
The excellence divine.
2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns
