4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart

To sanctify the soul-
To pour fresh life in ev'ry part,
And new-create the whole.

5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;

• Then shall we know, and praise, and love,
The Father, Son, and Thee.

HYMN 36. L. M. Carthage. [b]
Sorrow for Sin.

of

O that I could at last submit!
At Jesus' feet to lay me down-
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet.
e 2 Rest for my soul I long to find:
Saviour of all, if mine tuou art-
Give me thy meek, thy lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
-3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free,
I cannot rest till pure within,
Till I am wholly lost in thee.

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God;
Thy light and easy burden prove--

The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood-
The labour of thy dying love.

d 5 I would-but thou must give the pow'r,
My heart from ev'ry sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.

o 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer,
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Appear, in my poor heart appear;
My God, my Saviour, come away.

Repentance.

Has ander'd from the Lord!

TOW oft, alas! this wretched heart

How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!

2 Yet Sov'reign mercy calls-"Return:"
Dear Lord, and may I come!

My vile ingratitude I mourn:

O take the wanderer home.

3 And canst thou-wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardon'd rebel live,

To speak thy wondrous love.
4 Almighty grace, thy healing pow's,
How glorious-how divine!

That can to life and bliss restore,

So vile a heart as mine.

5 Thy pard'ning love-so free-so sweet

Dear Saviour, I adore ;

O keep me at thy sacred feet,

1

And let me rove no more.

HYMN 38. L. M. Armley. [b]
Sinner submitting to God.

EARY of struggling with my pain,

STEELE.

W Hopeless to burst this sinful chain,

At length I give the contest o'er,
And seek to free myself no more.

2 From my own works at last I cease-
God, who creates, must seal my peace;
Fruitless my toil, and vain my care,
Unless thy sovereign grace I share.
e 3 Lord, I despair myself to heal,
I see my sin, but cannot feel;
I cannot, till thy Spirit blow,
And bid th' obedient waters flow.
4 'Tis thine a heart of flesh to give,
Thy gifts I only can receive;
Here then to thee I all resign,
To draw, redeem, and seal is thine.
05 Speak, gracious Lord, my sickness cure,
Make my infected nature pure;
Peace, righteousness, and joy, impart,
And pour thyself into my heart.

HYMN 39. C. M. Reading. [b*]
Sinner resolving to go to Christ. Esth. iv, 16.

1 COME, humble sinner, in whose breast

thousand thoughts revolve;

Come with your guilt and fear oppress'd
And make this last resolve :-

o 2 "I'll go to Jesus, though my sin "Hath like a mountain rose;

"I know his courts, I'll enter in,
"Whatever may oppose.

e 3 "Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
"And there my guilt confess;
P "I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone,
"Without his sovereign grace.

o 4 "I'll to the gracious King approach,
"Whose sceptre pardon gives;
"Perhaps he may command my touch-
"And then the suppliant lives.
5 "Perhaps he will admit my plea,
"Perhaps will hear my prayer;
e "But if I perish, I will pray,
"And perish only there.

-6 "I can but perish if I go,
"I am resolv'd to try;
"For if I stay away, I know
66 I must for ever die."

HYMN 40. 7 & 6.

Clark's. [b*]

The Heart healed by Mercy.
IN enslav'd me many years,

Till at length a thousand fears
Came swarming o'er my mind.
o Where, (I said in deep distress,)
Will these sinful pleasures end?
How shall I secure my peace,
And make the Lord my friend?
-2 Friends and ministers said much,
The gospel to enforce ;

e But my blindness still was such,
I chose a legal course:

Much I fasted, watch'd, and strore,
Scarce would shew my face abroad;
e Fear'd, almost, to speak or move-
A stranger still to God.

-3 Thus afraid to trust his grace,
Long time did I rebel;

e Till despairing of my case, Down at his feet I fell:

JONES.

• Then my stubborn heart he broke,

And subdu'd me to his sway;

d

By a simple word he spoke-
"Thy sins are done away."

COWPER.

HYMN 41. L. M. Islington. [*]
The happy Change.

In search of fancied good we range;

N sin, by blinded passions led,

The paths of disappointment tread,
To nothing fix'd-but love of change.
-2 But when the Holy Ghost imparts
A knowledge of the Saviour's love;
Our wand'ring, weary, restless hearts,
Are then renew'd, no more to rove.
o 3 Now a new principle takes place,
Which guides and animates the will;
-This love, another name for grace,
Constrains to good, and bars from ill.
o 4 By love's pure light we soon perceive
Our noblest bliss and proper end;
And gladly ev'ry idol leave,

To love and serve our Lord and Friend.

HYMN 42. L. M. Portugal. [b *] The Influences of the Spirit experienced. John xiv, 16, 17. EAR Lord-and shall thy Spirit rest,

• 1 DEAR and shd heart spite

d Unworthy dwelling!-glorious Guest!
Favours astonishing-divine.

e 2 When sin prevails, and gloomy fear,
And hope almost expires in night;
Lord, can thy Spirit then be here
-Great spring of comfort, life, and light?
o 3 Sure the blest Comforter is nigh;
'Tis he sustains my fainting heart;
Else would my hopes forever die,
And ev'ry cheering ray depart.

-4 When some kind promise glads my soul,
Do I not find his healing voice
The tempest of my fears control,
And bid my drooping pow'rs rejoice.

5 Whene'er to call the Saviour mine, With ardent wish my heart aspires; Can it be less than pow'r Divine, Which animates these strong desires? 6 And when my cheerful hope can say, d "I love my God, and taste his grace,' e Lord, is it not thy blissful ray,

Which brings this dawn of sacred peace? -7 Let thy kind Spirit in my heart Forever dwell, O God of love;

• And light, and heav'nly peace impart-
Sweet earnests of the joys above.

Power of Faith. Rom. i, 17.
HE moment a sinner believes,

God,

o His pardon at once he receivesRedemption in full through his blood.

• 2 Tho' thousands and thousands of foes,
Against him in malice unite→→

Their rage he, thro' Christ, can oppose,
Led forth by the Spirit to fight.

-3 The faith that unites to the Lamb,
And brings such salvation as this,
Is more than mere fancy, or name-
d The work of God's Spirit it is.
o 4 It treads on the world, and on hell,
It vanquishes death and despair,
e And what is still stranger to tell,
d It overcomes heav'n by prayer.

5 It says to the mountains, "Depart," That stand betwixt God and the soul; e It binds up the broken in heart,

And makes wounded consciences whole-
-6 Bids sins of a crimson-like dye
Be spotless as snow and as white:

o And raises the sinner on high,
To dwell with the angels of light.
