And with thine own abide :
Holy Ghost, to make thee room,
Our hearts we open wide ;
Thee, and only thee request,
To every asking sinner given ;
Come, our life, and peace, and rest,
Our all in earth and heaven.
HYMN 414. 7's8f6}s.
1 1VTOW, ev'n now, I yield, I yield,
-^ With all my sins to part ;
Jesus, speak my pardon seal'd,
And purify my heart ;
Purge the love of sin away ;
I'hen I into nothing fall ;
Then I see the perfect day,
And Christ is all in all.
oV4r Seeking for full Redemption.
2 Jesus, now our hearts inspire
Witli that pure love of thine;
Kindle now the heavenly fire,
To brighten and refine ;
Purify our faith like gold ;
All the dross of sin remove ;
Melt our spirits down, and mould
Into thy perfect love.
HYMN 415. c. m.
1 TESUS hath died that I might live,
«J Might live to God alone ;
In him eternal life receive,
And be in spirit one.
2 Saviour, I thank thee for the grace, *
The gift unspeakable !
And wait with arms of faith to' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.
3 My soul breaks out in strong desire
The perfect bliss to prove ;
My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolved in love.
4 Give me thyself ; from every boast,
From every wish set free :
Let all I am in thee be lost ;
But give thyself to me.
5 Thy gifts, alas, cannot suffice,
Unless thyself be given ;
Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven !
HYMN 416. c. m.
1 ASK the gift of righteousness,
*- The sin-subduing power,
Power to believe, and go in peace,
And never grieve thee more.
Seeking for full Redemption. oaO
2 I ask the blood-bought pardon seal'd,
The liberty from sin,
The grace infused, the love reveal'd,
The kingdom tix'd within.
3 Thou hear'st me for salvation pray ;
Thou seest my heart's desire ;
Made ready in thy powerful day,
Thy fulness I require.
4 My vehement soul cries out, opprest.
Impatient to be freed ;
Nor can I, Lord, nor will I rest,
Till I am saved indeed.
5 Art thou not able to convert ?
