4 That uncreated beauty which hath gain'd 1 Devizes.] HYMN 140. C. M. LORD, all I am is known to thee; In vain my soul would try To shun thy presence, or to flee 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My public walks, my private ways, 3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, 4 O wondrous knowledge! deep and high! 5 So let thy grace surround me still, 1 Nazareth.] HYMN 141. L. M. THOU, who camest from above, Kindle a flame of sacred love, 2 There let it for thy glory burn, And trembling to its source return, In humble love, and fervent praise. 3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire, To work, and speak, and think for thee Still let me guard the holy fire, And still stir up thy gift in me. 4 Ready for all thy perfect will, 1 My acts of faith and love repeat; Let Israel's Consolation hear; ET God, who comforts the distrest, Hear, Holy Ghost, our joint request, Fill every heart with mournful care, And make thy richest mercy known; 4 Father of everlasting love, To every soul thy Son reveal, Pickering.] HYMN 143. C. M. ATHER, behold with gracious eyes, Who now present their sacrifice, 2 Meanest of all thy servants, I 3 Thy loving, powerful Spirit shed, 1 Refresh us with a ceaseless shower Of graces from above, Till all receive the perfect power Pickering.] HYMN 144. C. M. EHOVAH, God the Father, bless, JEHOVAH, With mercy's out-stretch'd arms embrace, And keep us to the end. 2 Preserve the creatures of thy love; Conducted to the realms above, 3 Jehovah, God the Son, reveal 5 Jehovah, God the Spirit, shine, The same through one eternal day, 2 We cannot think a gracious thought, Till thou who call'dst a world from nought, And then we give thee back thine own. 3 Jesus, regard the joint complaint, Of all thy tempted followers here, 4 To help our soul's infirmity, To heal thy sin-sick people's care, To urge our God-commanding plea, And make our heart a house of prayer: The promis'd Intercessor give, And let us now thyself receive. 5 Come in thy pleading Spirit down, To us who for thy coming stay; Of all thy gifts we ask but one, We ask the constant power to pray: Indulge us, Lord, in this request, Thou canst not then deny the rest. 1 Kingswood.] HYMN 146. 7's, 6's, & 18. JESUS, thou hast bid us pray, Pray always, and not faint; With the word a power convey, Till we from sin are fully freed: And bruise the serpent's head! 2 We have now begun to cry, And we will never end, Till we find salvation nigh, And grasp the sinner's Friend: Day and night we'll speak our wo, With thee importunately plead; O avenge us of our foe, And bruise the serpent's head! 3 Speak the word, and we shall be From all our bands releas'd; Only thou canst set us free, By Satan long opprest: Now thy power almighty show, Arise the woman's conquering Seed! |
