299 f WHO

HOM should we love like Thee,
Our God, our Guide, our King,
The tower to which we flee,
The rock to which we cling?
O for a thousand tongues to show
The mercies which to Thee we owe.

mf 2 The storm upon us fell,

The floods around us rose; The depths of death and hell Seemed on our souls to close. dim To God we cried in strong despair, cr He heard, and came to help our prayer. mf 3 He came, the King of kings,

He bowed the sable sky;
And on the tempest's wings

mf FATHER, to Thy sinful child

Though Thy law is reconciled, dim By Thy pardoning grace I live; Daily still I cry,-Forgive.

mf [2 Though my ransom-price He paid Upon Whom my guilt was laid, dim Humbly at Thy mercy seat, Full remission I entreat.]

mp3 Lord, forgive me, day by day,

Debts I cannot hope to pay; Duties I have left undone; Evils I have failed to shun; mp 4 Trespasses in word or thought; Deeds from evil motive wrought;

Cold ingratitude, distrust;
Thoughts unhallowed or unjust.

mp 5 Pardon, Lord! and are there those
Who my debtors are, or foes?
I, who by forgiveness live,
Here their tresspasses forgive.
mp [6 May I feel beneath my wrongs
Vengeance unto God belongs,
Nor a worse requital dare
Than the meek revenge of prayer.]

mb 7 Much forgiven, may I learn
Love for hatred to return;
cr Then assured my heart shall be,
f Thou, my God, hast pardoned me.
Amen.
J. CONDER.

GOD! Whose thoughts are brightest dim And dark thoughts fade away in grace, light, Like cloud-spots in the dawn.

Whose love runs always clear,

To Whose kind wisdom sinning souls mf 4 But they have caught the way of God,

Amidst their sins are dear!

mp 2 Sweeten my bitter-thoughted heart With charity like Thine,

Till self shall be the only spot

On earth which does not shine.

mp3 Hard-heartedness dwells not with souls Round whom Thine arms are drawn ;

302

mp BENEATH the shadow of the cross,

earthly hopes remove,

His new commandment Jesus gives,
His blessed word of love.

To Whom self lies displayed
In such clear vision as to cast
O'er others' faults a shade.

mf 5 All bitterness is from ourselves,
All sweetness is from Thee;

O God! for evermore be Thou
Fountain and fire in me! Amen.
F. W. FABER, v. 5, l. 3 altd.

ST. THECLA.

dim

FOR a heart to praise my God;

A heart from sin set free;

A heart that always feels Thy blood
So freely spilt for me.

mf 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne;

Where only Christ is heard to speak;
Where Jesus reigns alone.

mp3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within.

mp4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And filled with love divine;

Perfect and right, and pure and good;
A copy, Lord, of Thine.

mf 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
Come quickly from above;

cr Write Thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new best name of Love. Amen.

mf 3 When the praise of heaven I hear, cr Loud as thunders to the ear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as harp's melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, cr Not till then, how much I owe. mf 4 E'en on earth, as through a glass, Darkly let Thy glory pass; Make forgiveness feel so sweet; Make Thy Spirit's help so meet; E'en on earth, Lord, make me know cr Something of how much I owe.

R. M. M'CHEYNE, v. 1, ll. 3, 4 altd.
