3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Black, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!

4 While I draw this fleeting breath-
When my eye-strings break in death— !**
When I soar to worlds unknown-
See thee on thy judgment throne—
Rock of Ages! cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee!

(LUKE X. 42.)

1 BESET with snares on every hand,
In life's uncertain path I stand;

Saviour divine, diffuse thy light,
To guide my doubtful footsteps right.

2 Engage this roving, treacherous heart
To fix on Mary's better part;

To scorn the trifles of a day,

3 Then let the wildest storms arise;
Let tempests mingle earth and skies on
No fatal shipwreck shall I fear;
But all my treasures with me bear.

4 If thou, my Jesus, still be nigh,
Cheerful I live, and joyful die;
Secure,
cure, when mortal comforts flee,
To find ten thousand worlds in thee.

1 ARISE, my soul, my joyful powers, fome And triumph in my God;

Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim-H
His glorious grace abroad.

2 The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul he plac'd,
And on the Rock of Ages set
My slippery footsteps fast.

Is wall'd around with grace;
Salvation for a bulwark stands

To shield the sacred place.

The honours of our Saviour-God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.

Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth and love,
Our inward piety approve.
