5 O that it now from heaven might fall,
And all my sins consume;
Come, holy Ghost, for thee I call,
Spirit of burning, come!

6 Refining fire, go through my heart
Illuminate my soul;

Scatter thy life through every part,
And sanctify the whole.

HYMN 360. C. M. [195]

LORD, I believe a rest remains,
To all thy people known;

A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And thou art lov'd alone;

2 A rest where all our souls' desire
Is fixt on things above;

Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.

3 O that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!

Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin !

4 Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove :

To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of thy love.

SECOND PART.

HYMN 361. C. M.

I WOULD be thine, thou know'st I would, And have thee all my own;

Thee, O my all-sufficient Good,

* I want,--and thee alone.

2 Thy name to me thy nature grant, This, only this be given:

Nothing beside my God I want,
Nothing in earth or heaven.

3 Come, O my Saviour, come away,
Into my soul descend;

No longer from thy creature stay,
My Author and my End.

4 The bliss thou hast for me prepar'd
No longer be delay'd;
Come, my exceeding great Reward,
For whom I first was made.

5 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
And seal me thine abode;
Let all I'am in thee be lost,

Let all be lost in God.

HYMN 362. C. M.1

O JOYFUL Sound of Gospel grace,

Christ shall in me appear!

I, even I, shall see his face;
I shall be holy here.

2 The glorious crown of righteousness, To me reach'd out I view ;

Conqu❜ror through him, I soon shall seize, And wear it as my due.

3 The promis'd land, from Pisgah's top, I now exult to see;

My hope is full-O glorious hope!

Of immortality.

4 He visits now the house of clay,
He shakes his future home;

O wouldst thou, Lord, on this glad day,
Into thy temple come.

5 With me, I know, I feel, thou art:
But this cannot suffice,

Unless thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise.

HYMN 363. C. M.

JESUS hath died that I might live,
Might live to God alone;
In him eternal life receive
And be in spirit one.

2 Saviour, I thank thee for the grace,
The gift unspeakable;

And wait with arms of faith t' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.

3 My soul breaks out in strong desire,
The perfect bliss to prove;
My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolv'd in love.

4 Give me thyself from every boast,
From every wish set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
But give thyself to me.

5 Thy gifts, alas! cannot suffice,
Unless thyself be given;

Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven.

HYMN 364. C. M. [197]

COME, thou omniscient Son of Man,
Display thy sifting power;

Come with thy Spirit's winnowing fan,
And thoroughly purge thy floor.

2 Look through us with thine eyes of flame, The clouds and darkness chase:

And tell me what by sin I am,

And what I am by grace.

3 Whate'er offends thy glorious eyes,
Far from our hearts remove;

As dust before the whirlwind flies,
Disperse it by thy love.

[ocr errors]

4 Then let us all thy fullness know,
From every sin set free;

Sav'd to the utmost, sav'd below,
And perfected by thee.

HYMN 365. L. M. [198]

AN inward baptism of pure fire, Wherewith to be baptis'd I have; "Tis all my longing soul's desire: This, only this, my soul can save. 2 Straiten'd I am till this be done; Kindle in me the living flame; Father, in me reveal thy Son; Baptise me into Jesus' name. 3 Transform my nature into thine; Let all my powers thine impress feel; Let all my soul become divine,

And stamp me with thy Spirit's seal. 4 Love, mighty love, my heart o'erpower; Ah! why dost thou so long delay ? Cut short the work, bring near the hour, And let me see the perfect day.

HYMN 366. S. M. [198]

FATHER, I dare believe

Thee merciful and true 1
Thou wilt my guilty soul forgive,
My fallen soul renew.

2 Come then, for Jesus' sake,
And bid my heart be clean:
An end of all my troubles make,
An end of all my sin.

3 I cannot wash my heart,

But by believing thee;

And waiting for thy blood t' impart,
The spotless purity.

4 While at thy cross I lie,
Jesus, the grace bestow;

Now thy all-cleansing blood apply,
And I am white as snow.

HYMN 367. C. P. M. [199]

O GLORIOUS hope of perfect love!
It lifts me up to things above;
It bears on eagles' wings;
It gives my ravish'd soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus, priests and kings.
2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain top,
See all the land below:
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of Paradise,
In endless plenty grow.

3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favor'd with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest;

There dwells the Lord our Righteousness, And keeps his own in perfect peace,

And everlasting rest.

4 O that I might at once go up!
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess!

This moment end my legal years;
Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears,
A howling wilderness.

5 Now, O my Joshua, bring me in!
Cast out thy foes; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind remove;

The purchase of thy death dividend d.
And, oh! with all the sanctified, gaijis

Give me a lot of love!ng astroge ..!
