Means of Grace Works of Piety
Still hear and do thy sovereign will : To thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice. 5 In thee we move : -- all things of thee Are full, thou Source and Life of all ; For the Society giving Thanks. 463 Thou vast unfathomable Sea ! (Fall prostrate, lost in wonder, fall, Ye sons of men, for God is man !) All may we lose, so thee we gain. 6 As flowers their op'ning leaves display, And glad drink in the solar fire, So may we catch thy every ray, So may thy influence us inspire ; Thou Beam of the eternal Beam, Thou purging Fire, thou quick' ning Flame. HYMN 495. 5'sSrll's. 1 /^OME, let us arise, And press to the skies ; ^-/ The summons obey, My friends, my beloved, and hasten away. 2 The Master of all For our service doth call, And deigns to approve, With smiles of acceptance, our labour of love. 3 His burden who bear, We alone can declare How easy his yoke, While to love and good works we each other provoke ; -- 4 By word and by deed, The bodies in need, The souls to relieve, And freely as Jesus hath given to give. 5 Then let us attend Our heavenly Friend, In his members distrest, By want, or affliction, or sickness opprest : 6 The pris'ner relieve, The stranger receive ; Supply all their wants, And spend and be spent in assisting His saints. 7 Thus while we bestow Our moments below, Ourselves we forsake, And refuge in Jesus's righteousness take : 4b4 For the Society giving Thanks. 8 His passion alone The foundation we own ; And pardon we claim, And eternal redemption, in Jesus's name. 1 rT^HE earth is the Lord's, And all it contains ; A The truth of his words For ever remains ; The saints have a mountain Of blessings in him ; His grace is the fountain, His peace is the stream. 2 To him our request We now have made known, Who sees what is best For each of his own : Our heathenish care, We cast it aside ; He heareth the prayer, And he will provide.
