Christian Perfection Free Will Sanctifying Grace
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 411. 6-7's. 1 ^\^THY not now, my God, my God? * * Ready if thou always art, Make in me thy mean abode,
