4 Ah! Lord, if thou art in that sigh, Mark what my lab'ring soul would say : 5 Shine on thy work, disperse the gloom; Thy warfare's past, thy mourning's o'er; 1 Bishop.] HYMN 34. L. M. VHEREWITH, O Lord, shall I draw near, And bow myself before thy face? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 4 Whoe'er to thee themselves approve, Justice pursue, and mercy love, And humbly walk by faith with God. 5 But though my life henceforth be thine, Present for past can ne'er atone : Though I to thee the whole resign, I only give thee back thine own. 6 What have I then wherein to trust; I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my every boast ; My glory swallow'd up in shame. 7 Guilty I stand before thy face; On me I feel thy wrath abide ; 'Tis just the sentence should take place, 'Tis just,—but, O, thy Son hath died! 8 Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled, He bore our sins upon the tree: Beneath our curse he bow'd his head 'Tis finish'd? he hath died for me! 9 See, where before thy throne he stands, And pours the all-prevailing prayer! Points to his side, and lifts his hands, And shows that I am graven there! 10 He ever lives for me to pray; He prays that I with him may reign: Amen, to what my Lord doth say! Jesus, thou canst not pray in vain. Hotham.] HYMN 35. 8 lines 7's. 1 ESUS, lover of my soul, Safe into the haven guide, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; All With the shadow of thy wing. Thou art full of truth and grace. Freely let me take of thee: Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity! Mount Zion.] HYMN 36. 4 8's & 2 6's. LOVE divine, how sweet thou art! All taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove 2 Stronger his love than death or hell. Desire in vain its depths to see; The length, the breadth, and height. 4 O that I could for ever sit, The dear Redeemer's breast; From care, and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in thee My everlasting rest! Durham.] HYMN 37. S. M. H! whither should I go, A Burdened, and sick, and faint! To whom should I my troubles show, Ah! why do I delay ? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from him I stay! 2 What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part? Which will not let the Saviour take 3 4 Some cursed thing unknown, Must surely lurk within; Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom-sin. Jesus, the hind'rance show, I now believe in thee Which thou wouldst fain remove; That God is only love. Pastoral Hymn.] HYMN 38. 6 lines 8's. 1 ATHER of Jesus Christ, the Just, FATHER of Jesus with the My Friend and Advocate with thee. Pity a soul that fain would trust In Him who liv'd and died for me: What flesh and blood can ne'er reveal; Thy co-eternal Son display, And speak my darkness into day. 3 The gift unspeakable impart : Command the light of faith to shine; |
