3 For this my heart sighs : Nothing else can suffice ; How, Lord, can I purchase the pearl of great price ? It cannot be bought, And thou know'st I have nought, Not an action, a word, or a truly good thought. 4 But I hear a voice say, "Without money ye may Receive it, whoever have nothing to pay : Who on Jesus relies, without money or price, The pearl of forgiveness and holiness buys : 5 The blessing is free : " -- So, Lord, let it be ; 1 yield that thy love should be given to me. I freely receive What thou freely dost give, And consent in thy love, in thy Eden, to live. 6 The gift I embrace ; The Giver I praise ; And ascribe my salvation to Jesus's grace : It comes from above ; The foretaste 1 prove ; And I soon shall receive all the fulness of love. 520 Additional Hymns. 1 f^ OD moves in a mysterious way, ^-* His wonders to perform ; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will. 2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ! The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace : Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 3 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour ; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain : God is his own Interpreter, And he will make it plain. HYMN 560. p.m. LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing ! Bid us now depart in peace ; Still on heavenly manna feeding, Let our faith and love increase : Fill each breast with consolation ; Up to thee our hearts we raise : When we reach yon blissful station, Then we'll give thee nobler praise! Hallelujah !
