Which longs to build thy house again ; Thy love let it my heart o'erpower, And all my simple soul devour. 2 I want an even, strong desire, I want a calmly-fervent zeal, To save poor souls out of the fire, To snatch them from the verge of hell, And turn them to a pardoning God, And quench the brands in Jesu's blood. 3 I would the precious time redeem, And longer live for this alone, To spend, and to be spent, for them Who have not yet my Saviour known ; Fully on these my mission prove, And only breathe, to breathe thy love. 4 My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, Into thy blessed hands receive ; And let me live to preach thy word ; And let me to thy glory live ; My every sacred moment spend In publishing the Sinners' Friend. 5 Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart With boundless charity divine ! So shall I all my strength exert, And love them with a zeal like thine ; And lead them to thy open side, The sheep for whom their Shepherd died. 4Uo For Believers Saved. HYMN 434. 7's. 1 TESUS, all-atoning Lamb, *J Thine, and only thine, I am ; Take my body, spirit, soul ; Only thou possess the whole. 2 Thou my one thing needful be ; Let me ever cleave to thee ; Let me choose the better part ; Let me give thee all my heart. 3 Fairer than the sons of men, Do not let me turn again, Leave the fountain-head of bliss, Stoop to creature-happiness. 4 Whom have I on earth below ? Thee, and only Thee I know ; Whom have 1 in heaven but Thee ? Thou art all in all to me. 5 All my treasure is above ; All my riches is thy love : Who the worth of love can tell ? Infinite, unsearchable ! 6 Thou, O love, my portion art : Lord, thou know'st my simple heart ! Other comforts I despise ; Love be all my paradise. 7 Nothing else can I require ; Love fills up my whole desire ; All thy other gifts remove, Still thou giv'st me all in love !
