J /^OME, Wisdom, Power, and Grace Divine, ^^ Come, Jesus, in thy name to join A happy chosen band ; Who fain would prove thine utmost will, And all thy righteous laws fulfil, In love's benign command. 2 If pure essential Love thou art, Thy nature into every heart, Thy loving self, inspire : Bid all our simple souls be one, United in a bond unknown, Baptized with heavenly fire. 3 Still may we to our centre tend, -- To spread thy praise our common end.

Infuse the softest social care, The warmest charity, The bowels of our bleeding Lamb, The virtues of thy wondrous name, The heart that was in thee. 5 Supply what every member wants ; To found the fellowship of saints, Thy Spirit, Lord, supply ; So shall we all thy love receive, Together to thy glory live, And to thy glory die. 1 f\ SAVIOUR, cast a gracious smile ! ^-^ Our gloomy guilt, and selfish guile, And shy distrust remove : The true simplicity impart, To fashion every passive heart, And mould it into love. 2 Our naked hearts to thee we raise ; Whate'er obstructs thy work of grace, For ever drive it hence : Exert thy all-subduing power, And each regenerate soul restore To child-like innocence. 3 Soon as in thee we gain a part, Our spirit purged from nature's art Appears, by grace forgiven ; 49~ For the Society Praying. We then pursue our sole design, To lose our melting will in thine, And want no other heaven 4 O that we now the power might feel, To do on earth thy blessed will, As angels do above ! In thee, the Life, the Truth, the Way To walk, and perfectly to' obey Thy sweet constraining love ! 5 Jesus, fulfil our one desire, And spread the spark of living fire Through every hallow'd breast ; Bless with divine conformity, And give us now to find in thee Our everlasting rest.
