Art thou not willing too ?
To change this old rebellious heart,
To conquer and renew ?
6 Thou canst, thou wilt, I dare believe,
So arm me with thy power,
That I to sin shall never cleave,
Shall never feel it more.
HYMN 417. c. m.
1 /^OME, O my God, the promise seal,
^-^ This mountain, sin, remove :
Now in my gasping soul reveal
The virtue of thy love.
2 I want thy life, thy purity,
Thy righteousness, brought in ;
T ask, desire, and trust in thee,
To be redeem'd from sin.
*»yb For Believers Saved.
3 For this, as taught by thee, I pray,
And can no longer doubt ;
Remove from hence ! to sin I say ;
Be cast this moment out !
4 Anger and sloth, desire and pride,
This moment be subdued ;
Be cast into the crimson tide
Of my Redeemer's blood.
5 Saviour, to thee my soul looks up,
My present Saviour thou !
In all the confidence of hope,
I claim the blessing now.
6 'Tis done : thou dost this moment save,
With full salvation bless ;
Redemption through thy blood I have,
And spotless love and peace.
For Believers Saved,
HYMN 418. 7's8f6's.
1 /^1 OD ! who didst so dearly buy
^J These wretched souls of ours,
Help us thee to glorify
With all our ransom'd powers :
Ours they are not, Lord, but thine ;
O let the vessels of thy grace,
Body, soul, and spirit, join
In our Redeemer's praise !
2 True and faithful witness, thee,
O Jesus, we receive ;
Fulness of the Deity,
In all thy people live !
For Believers Saved. 397
First-begotten from the dead,
Call forth thy living witnesses ;
King of saints, thine empire spread
O'er all the ransom'd race.
3 Grace, the fountain of all good,
Ye happy saints, receive,
With the streams of peace o'erflow'd,
With all that God can give ;
He who is, and was, in peace,
And grace, and plenitude of power,
Comes, your favour'd souls to bless,
And never leave you more.
4 Let the Spirit before his throne,
Mysterious One and Seven,
In his various gifts sent down,
Be to the churches given ;
Let the pure seraphic joy
From Jesus Christ, the Just, descend ;
Holiness without alloy,
And bliss that ne'er shall end.
HYMN 419. l. m.
