Sw1FT to my rescue come,
Thy own this moment seize;
Gather my wand'ring spirit home,
And keep in perfect peace. Suffer'd no more to rove
O'er all the earth abroad,
Arrest the pris'ner of thy love,
And shut me up in God! (Page 247.)
THY pris'ners release, Vouchsafe us thy peace;
And our sorrows and sins in a moment shall cease. That moment be now ! Our petition allow,
Our present Redeemer and Comforter thou ! (Vol. II., p. 124.)
FaoM this inbred sin deliver;
Let the yoke Now be broke;
Make me thine for ever. Partner of thy perfect nature,
Let me be Now in thee
A new, sinless creature. (Page 156.)
TURN me, Lord, and turn me now,
To thy yoke my spirit bow;
Grant me now the pearl to find
Of a meek and quiet mind. Calm, O calm my troubled breast;
Let me gain that second rest:
From my works for ever cease,
Perfected in holiness. (Page 162.)
CoME in this accepted hour,
Bring thy heavenly kingdom in 1
Fill us with the glorious power,
Rooting out the seeds of sin. (Page 168)
CoME, thou dear Lamb, for sinners slain,
Bring in the cleansing flood;
Apply, to wash out every stain,
Thine efficacious blood. O let it sink into our soul
Deep as the inbred sin :
Make every wounded spirit whole,
And every leper clean : (Page 171.)
PR1s’NERs of hope, arise,
And see your Lord appear:
Lo ! on the wings of love he flies,
And brings redemption near. Redemption in his blood
He calls you to receive :
*Come unto me, the pard'ning God :
Believe,” he cries, “believe '"
Jesus, to thee we look,
Till saved from sin's remains,
Reject the inbred tyrant's yoke,
And cast away his chains. Our nature shall no more
O'er us dominion have :
By faith we apprehend the power,
Which shall for ever save. (Page 188.)
JESU, our life, in us appear,
Who daily die thy death :
Reveal thyself the finisher;
Thy quick'ning Spirit breathe 1."
Unfold the hidden mystery,
The second gift impart;
Reveal thy glorious self in me,
In every waiting heart. (Page 195.)
IN Him we have peace, In Him we have power I
Preserved by his grace Throughout the dark hour,
In all our temptation He keeps us, to prove
His utmost salvation, His fulness of love.
