To succour and defend ;
Thee the' eternal God sustains,
Thy Maker and thy Friend :
Israel, what hast thou to dread ?
Safe from all impending harms,
tjoo Seeking for full Redemption.
Round thee and beneath are spread
The everlasting arms
3 God is thine ; disdain to fear
The enemy within :
God shall in thy flesh appear,
And make an end of sin :
God the man of sin shall slay,
Fill thee with triumphant joy ;
God shall thrust him out, and say,
" Destroy them all, destroy !"
4 All the struggle then is o'er,
And wars and fightings cease ;
Israel then shall sin no more,
But dwell in perfect peace :
All his enemies are gone ;
Sin shall have in him no part ;
Israel now shall dwell alone,
With Jesus in his heart.
5 In a land of corn and wine
His lot shall be below ;
Comforts there, and blessings join,
And milk and honey flow :
Jacob's well is in his soul ;
Gracious dew his heavens distil,
Fill his soul, already full,
And shall for ever fill.
6 Blest, O Israel, art thou ;
What people is like thee ?
Saved from sin, by Jesus, now
Thou art, and still shalt be :
Jesus is thy seven-fold shield ;
Jesus is thy flaming sword ;
Earth, and hell, and sin, shall yield
To God's almighty word.
Seeking for full Redemption. OoV
HYMN 408. l. m.
1 TTE wills, that I should holy be ;
A -*- That holiness I long to feel ;
That full divine conformity
To all my Saviour's righteous will.
2 See, Lord, the travail of thy soul
Accomplish' d in the change of mine ;
And plunge me, every whit made wholes
In all the depths of love divine.
3 On thee, O God, my soul is stay'd,
And waits to prove thine utmost will ;
The promise, by thy mercy made,
Thou canst, thou wilt, in me fulfil.
4 No more I stagger at thy power,
Or doubt thy truth, which cannot move :
Hasten the long-expected hour,
And bless me with thy perfect love.
5 Jesus, thy loving Spirit alone
Can lead me forth, and make me free ;
Burst every bond through which I groan,
And set my heart at liberty.
6 Now let thy Spirit bring me in ;
