And give thy servant to possess
The land of rest from inbred sin,
The land of perfect holiness.
7 Lord, 1 believe thy power the same ;
The same thy truth and grace endure ;
And in thy blessed hands I am,
And trust thee for a perfect cure.
8 Come, Saviour, come, and make me whole ;
Entirely all my sins remove ;
To perfect health restore my soul,
To perfect holiness and love.
oJO Seeking Jar full Redemption.
HYMN 409. c. m
J TESUS, my Lord, I cry to thee
*J Against the spirit unclean :
I want a constant liberty,
A perfect rest from sin.
2 Expel the fiend out of my heart,
By love's almighty power ;
Now, now command him to depart,
And never enter more.
3 Thy killing and thy quick'ning power,
Jesus, in me display ;
The life of nature from this hour,
My pride and passion, slay.
4 Then, then, my utmost Saviour, raise
My soul, with saints above,
To serve thy will, and spread thy praise,
And sing thy perfect love.
5 This moment I thy truth confess ;
This moment I receive
The heavenly gift, the dew of grace,
And by thy mercy live.
6 The next, and every moment, Lord,
On me thy Spirit pour ;
And bless me, who believe thy word,
With that last glorious shower.
HYMN 410. s. m.
1 T^ATHER, I dare believe
^ Thee merciful and true :
Thou wilt my guilty soul forgive,
My fallen soul renew.
Seeking for full Redemption. 391
Come, then, for Jesu's sake,
And bid my heart be clean ;
An end of all my troubles make,
An end of all my sin.
2 I will, through grace, I will,
I do, return to thee ;
Take, empty it, O Lord, and fill
My heart with purity !
For power, I feebly pray :
Thy kingdom now restore,
To-day, while it is call'd to-day,
And I shall sin no more.
3 I cannot wash my heart,
But by believing thee,
And waiting for thy blood to' impart
The spotless purity :
While at thy cross I lie,
Jesus, thy grace bestow,
Now thy all-cleansing blood apply,
And I am white as snow.
HYMN 411. 6-7's.
1 ^\^THY not now, my God, my God?
* * Ready if thou always art,
Make in me thy mean abode,
