7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, 8 Be it according to thy word; Jehudijah.] HYMN 51. LM. 1 JES ESUS, thy far-extended fame, 2 Sinners of old thou didst receive With comfortable words, and kind; Their sorrows cheer, their wants relieve, Heal the diseas'd, and cure the blind. 3 And art thou not the Saviour still, In every place and age the same? Hast thou forgot thy gracious skill, Or lost the virtue of thy name? 4 Faith in thy changeless name I have, The good, the kind physician, thou Art able now our souls to save, Art willing to restore them now. 5 Though eighteen hundred years are past Since thou didst in the flesh appear; Thy tender mercies ever last, And still thy healing power is here. 6 Wouldst thou the body's health restore, 7 All my disease, my every sin, 8 That token of thine utmost good, 1 Now, Saviour, now on me bestow; And purge my conscience with thy blood, And wash my nature white as snow. Rest.] HYMN 52. 6 lines 7's. SAVIOUR, Prince of Israel's race; Save me!-from thy lofty throne Soften this obdurate stone! Let me see, and let me feel; "Now, thou know'st, I love thee, Lord." 4 Might I in thy sight appear Groan the sinner's only plea, 5 O remember me for good, Show me the atoning blood When my strength and spirits fail; Give my gasping soul to see Jesus crucify'd for me. Asbury.] HYMN 53. C. M. FOR that tenderness of heart, Which bows before the Lord; Acknowledging how just thou art, And trembling at thy word! O for those humble, contrite tears, Which from repentance flow: That consciousness of guilt, which fears The long-suspended blow! 2 Saviour, to me, in pity give, The sensible distress; 1 2. The pledge thou wilt, at last, receive, Wilt from the dreadful day remove, Egypt.] HYMN 54. S. M. THAT I could repent, And to thy gracious eye present 3 Jesus, on me bestow 4 With soft'ning pity look, 1 2 3 And melt my hardness down: Strike with thy love's resistless stroke, Aylesbury.] HYMN 55. S. M. THAT I could revere O that I could but stand in fear Thou by thy threat'ning move; The grace be now on me bestow'd, The tender fleshly heart: And melt at last, O melt me down, Abridge.] HYMN 56. C. M. 1 ENSLAV'D to sense, to pleasure prone, Fond of created good : Father, our helplessness we own, 2 Trembling, we taste; for, Ah! no more Chang'd, they exert a baneful power, 3 Curs'd for the sake of wretched man, 4 Grov❜ling on earth we still must lie, Till Christ, descending from on high, 5 Come, then, our heavenly Adam, come, 6 The bondage of corruption break ; Thy only will we fain would seek, 7 Turn the full stream of nature's tide; To thee our source: thy love the guide: 8 Earth then a scale to heaven shall be; 1 Euphrates.] HYMN 57. 7's, 6's, & 1 8.
