4 With outstretch'd hands, and streaming eyes, Rise, Lord; stir up thy quickening power, 6 Single of heart O may I be! ZEAL is that pure and heav'nly flame, While that which often bears the name, 2 True zeal is merciful and mild, The false is headstrong, fierce and wild; 3 While zeal for truth the Christian warms, He knows the worth of peace; But self contends for names and forms, 4 Zeal has attain'd its highest aim, If sinners love the Saviour's name, 5 But self, however well employed, 6 Self may its poor reward obtain, But zeal the best applause will gain, HYMN 215. C. M. [485] AWAKE my soul, stretch every nerve, 3 A cloud of witnesses around, HYMN 216. C. M. DIDST thou, dear Jesus, suffer shame, Or thy disciple be? 2 Inspire my soul with life divine, And make me truly bold; Let knowledge, faith, and meekness shine, 3 Let mockers scoff, the world defame, Let wisdom point out what is fit, HYMN 217. C. M. [447] THE saints above once here below 2 I ask them whence their vict'ry rose: Say, "Jesus conquer'd all our foes: 3. They mark'd the footsteps which he trod; 4 The Lamb we praise with pure delight, HYMN 218. C. M. THE message first to Smyrna sent, 2 Thus to his church, his chosen bride, 3 "Thy works and sorrow well I know, Poor though thou art, despis'd and low, 4 "Be faithful unto death, nor fear Behold the prize you soon shall wear, 5 Hear what the Holy Spirit saith 'They shall escape the second death, The sinner's awful doom!" HYMN 219. C. M. [380] THUS I resolv'd before the Lord," 3 Yet, if some proper hour appear, But let the scoffing sinners hear, That I can speak for God! TRUSTING IN GRACE AND PROVIDENCE. HYMN 220. 7s, 6s, & 8. [157] VAIN, delusive world, adieu! With all of creature good; Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with his blood! All thy pleasures I forego, I trample on thy wealth and pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain, Christ, the Lamb of God was slain, The sin-atoning Victim died: And Jesus crucified! 3 Here will I set up my rest, His wounds for me stand open wide: Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified! 4 Him to know is life and peace, This is all my happiness, And Jesus crucified! 5 O that I could all invite, This saving truth to prove: Show the length, the breadth, the height And depth of Jesus' love! Fain would I to sinners show The blood by faith alone applied; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified!! HYMN 221. C. M. [158] WITH joy we meditate the grace |
