Christian Perfection Free Will Sanctifying Grace
3 Make us of one heart and mind, Courteous, pitiful, and kind, 476 For the Society Praying. Lowly, meek, in thought and word, Altogether like our Lord. 4 Let us for each other care, Each the other's harden bear, To thy church the pattern give, Show how true believers live. 5 Free from anger and from pride, Let us thus in God abide ; All the depths of love express, All the heights of holiness ! 6 Let us then with joy remove To the family above ; On the wings of angels fly ; Show how true believers die. 1 nPHOU God of truth and love, J- We seek thy perfect way, Ready thy choice to' approve, Thy providence to' obey ; Enter into thy wise design, And sweetly lose our will in thine. 2 Why hast thou cast our lot In the same age and place ? And why together brought To see each other's face ? To join with softest sympathy, And mix our friendly souls in thee? 3 Didst thou not make us one, That we might one remain, Together travel on, And bear each other's pain ; Till all thy utmost goodness prove, And rise renew'd in perfect love ?

Away to our eternal rest, Away to our Redeemer's breast ! HYMN 511. 6-8' s. 1 T^ORGIVE us, for thy mercy's sake, -*- Our multitude of sins forgive ! And for thy own possession take, And bid us to thy glory live ; Live in thy sight, and gladly prove Our faith, by our obedient love. 2 The cov'nant of forgiveness seal, And all thy mighty wonders show ! Our inbred enemies expel ; And conquering them to conquer go, Till all of pride and wrath be slain. And not one evil thought remain ! 3 O put it in our inward parts,
