1 HPHE Voice that speaks Jehovah near,
A The still small voice I long to hear;
0 may it now my Lord proclaim,
And fill my soul with holy shame !
2 Ashamed I must for ever be,
Afraid the God of love to see,
If saints and prophets hide their face,
And angels tremble while they gaze !
HYMN 426. s. m.
1 ORD, in the strength of grace,
-*^ With a glad heart and free,
Myself, my residue of days,
I consecrate to thee.
4:0*2 For Believers Saved.
2 Thy ransom'd servant, I
Restore to thee thy own ;
And, from this moment, live or die
To serve my God alone.
1 /~^ OD of all-redeeming grace,
^J By thy pardoning love compel!' d,
Up to thee our souls we raise,
Up to thee our bodies yield :
Thou our sacrifice receive,
Acceptable through thy Son,
While to thee alone we live,
While we die to thee alone.
2 Meet it is, and just, and right,
That we should be wholly thine,
In thy only will delight,
In thy blessed service join :
O that every work and word
Might proclaim how good thou art ;
" Holiness unto the Lord"
Still be written on our heart.
HYMN 428. c. m.
1 ET Him to whom we now belong
-L' His sovereign right assert,
And take up every thankful song,
And every loving heart.
2 He justly claims us for his own,
Who bought us with a price ;
The Christian lives to Christ alone,
To Christ alone he dies !
3 Jesus, thine own at last receive,
Fulfil our hearts' desire,
And let us to thy glory live,
And in thy cause expire.
For Believers Saved. 403
Our souls and bodies we resign ;
With joy we render thee
Our all, no longer ours, but thine
To all eternity.
1 T> EHOLD the servant of the Lord !
-U I wait thy guiding eye to feel,
To hear and keep thy every word,
To prove and do thy perfect will ;
Joyful from my own works to cease,
Glad to fulfil all righteousness.
2 Me if thy grace vouchsafe to use,
Meanest of all thy creatures, me,
The deed, the time, the manner choose ;
