Still do thou love me, O my Lord,
That I may still love thee:
Still make me love thee, O my God,
That thou may'st still love me:
HYMN LXI.—(c. M.)
THOU art the WAY-by thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he, who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, in thee.
Thou art the TRUTH-thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst instruct the mind,
And purify the heart.
Thou art the LIFE-the op'ning tomb
Proclaims thy conqu❜ring arm;
And those who put their trust in thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life—
Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Where joys eternal flow.
HYMN LXII.-(c. M.)
FROM Calv'ry's cross a fountain flows
Of water and of blood;
More healing than Bethesda's pool,
Or fam'd Siloam's flood.
The dying thief rejoic'd to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may sinners, vile as he,
Wash all their guilt away.
Redeeming Lord, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till the whole ransom'd church of God
Be sav'd, to sin no more.
May we, by faith, behold the stream
Thy healing wounds supply!
Then love divine shall be our theme,
From henceforth till we die.
Then in far nobler sweeter songs,
We'll sing thy pow'r to save,
When these poor lisping, stamm'ring tongues Lie silent in the grave.
O LORD, exalted far on high,
To whom a name is given;
A name surpassing every name
That's known in earth or heav'n:
Before whose throne shall every knee
Bow down with one accord;
Before whose throne shall every tongue
Confess that thou art Lord:
O Lord, who in the form of God
Didst equal honour claim;
Yet, to redeem our guilty souls,
Didst stoop to death and shame :
Oh! may that mind in us be form'd,
Which shone so bright in thee;
An humble, meek, and lowly mind,
From pride and anger free.
Through all the changing scenes of life
Through endless years thou art the same
Tho' we have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord
Thy mercies and thy love
Thy throne, O God, in righteousness
'Tis good for us, most gracious Lord
To bless thy chosen race
To celebrate thy praise, O Lord
To Father, Spirit, Son
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To God, the Father, yield
Unto the hills I lift mine eyes
Vainly thro' night's weary hours
What shall I render, O my God
When all thy mercies, O my God
When amidst our earthly care
When dangers press, and fears invade
When God his Zion did redeem
When overwhelm'd with grief
Who, great God! with favour blest
Whom have we, Lord, in heaven but thee
While saints and angels, glorious King
With hearts in love abounding
With one consent let all the earth
Ye boundless realms of joy
Ye saints and servants of the Lord
