We find within our hearts, and dare The sacred power we prove; SECOND PART. HYMN 132. S. M. [84] WE by his Spirit prove, And know the things of God, The things which freely of his love He hath on us bestow'd. 2 His Spir't to us he gave, And dwells in us we know; The witness in ourselves we have, And all its fruits we show. 3 The meek and lowly heart That in our Saviour was, To us his Spirit does impart, And signs us with his cross. HYMN 133. C. P. M. THOU great mysterious God unknown, Thy justifying grace. 2 If I had only known thy fear, 3 Short of thy love I would not stop I would not, Lord, my soul deceive, 4 If now the witness were in me, In Jesus reconcil'd? And should I not with faith draw nigh, And boldly, Abba, Father, cry, And know myself thy child? 5 Father, in me reveal thy Son, How merciful thou art: The secret of thy love reveal, HYMN 134. H. M. [84] ARISE, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead ; His blood aton'd for all our race, They pour effectual prayers, He cannot turn away The presence of his Son: 5 My God is reconcil'd, His pard'ning voice I hear: With confidence I now draw nigh, HYMN 135. C. M. GREAT God! to me the sight afford, And let my faith behold its Lord, . 2 In that revealing Spir't come down, Thine attributes proclaim, And to my inmost soul make known 3 Jehovah, Christ, I thee adore, 4 The Lord, the mighty God thou art, 5 Merciful God, thyself proclaim 6 Our mis'ry doth for pity call, HYMN 136. C. M. I ASK the gift of righteousness, 2 I ask the blood-bought pardon seal'd, The liberty from sin; The grace infus'd, the love reveal'd, 3 Thou hear'st me for salvation pray, 4 My longing soul cries out, opprest, Nor can I, Lord, nor will I rest, 'Till I am sav'd indeed. 5 Art thou not able to convert? To change this old rebellious heart, 6 Thou canst, thou wilt, I dare believe, HYMN 137. C. P. M. O THOU who hast our sorrows borne, Renew'd thy sacred pain. 2 Vouchsafe us eyes of faith to see And break my stubborn heart. 3 Lover of souls to rescue mine, Reveal the charity divine, That suffer'd in my stead! That made thy soul a sacrifice, And quench'd in death those flaming eyes, And bow'd that sacred head. 4 The veil of unbelief remove, And by thy manifested love, And by thy sprinkled blood, 5 Now let thy dying love constrain And, lo! I come thy cross to share, And with my Saviour díe. |
