2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done ; That, with the world, myself, and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. Miscellaneous Hymns. 66 1 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed ; Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4 O let my soul on thee repose ! And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close ; Sleep that shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God when I awake. 5 If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply ; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. HYMN 759. l. m. The df/hig Malefactor 's Prayer. 1 r\ THOU that hangedst on the tree, ^-* Our curse and sufferings to remove, Pity the souls that look to thee, And save us by thy dying love. 2 We have no outward righteousness, No merits or good works, to plead ; We only can be saved by grace ; Thy grace will here be free indeed. 3 Save us by grace, through faith alone, A faith thou must thyself impart ; A faith that would by works be shown, A faith that purines the heart. 4 A faith that doth the mountains move, A faith that shows our sins forgiven, A faith that sweetly works by love, And ascertains our claim to heaven. bo 2 Miscellaneous Hymns. 5 This is the faith we humbly seek, The faith in thy all-cleansing blood ; That blood which doth for sinners speak, O let it speak us up to God ! HYMN 760. l. m. 1 /^ANST thou reject our dying prayer, ^-/ Or cast us out who come to thee ? Our sins, ah ! wherefore didst thou bear? Jesus, remember Calvary ! 2 Number'd with the transgressors thou, Between the felons crucified, Speak to our hearts, and tell us now, Wherefore hast thou for sinners died ? 3 For us wast thou not lifted up ? For us a bleeding victim made ? That we, the abjects we, might hope, Thou hast for all a ransom paid. 4 O might we, with believing eyes, Thee in thy bloody vesture see ; And cast us on thy sacrifice ! Jesus, my Lord, remember me!
