4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound:
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee:
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

C. Wesley. 1740.

7,6, 8.

1 JESUS, Name all names above,
Jesus, best and dearest,
Jesus, Fount of perfect love,
Holiest, tenderest, nearest;
Jesus, Source of grace completest,
Jesus tenderest, Jesus sweetest,
Jesus, Well of power divine,
Make me, keep me, seal me Thine!

2 Thou didst call the prodigal;
Thou didst pardon Mary:

Thou whose words can never fall,
Love can never vary;

Thou whose wounds are ever pleading,
And Thy Passion interceding,

From my misery let me rise
To a home in Paradise!

3 Jesus, crowned with thorns for me,
Scourged for my transgresssion!
Witnessing, through agony,
That Thy good confession;
Jesus, clad in purple raiment,
For my evils making payment;
Let not all Thy woe and pain,
Let not Calvary, be in vain!

The Image of the Earthly. C. M.
10 MEAN may seem this house of clay,
Yet 't was the Lord's abode;

Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.

2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear;
This watch the Lord did keep;

These burdens sore the Lord did bear;
These tears the Lord did weep !

1 JESUS, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!

2 Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee:
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring:
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.

3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name;
I am all unrighteousness:
False and full of sin I am;

Thou art full of truth and grace.

4 0 mighty grace, our life to live,
To make our earth divine;

O mighty grace, Thy heaven to give,
And lift our life to Thine!

5 O strange the gifts, and marvellous,
By Thee received and given :
Thou tookest woe and death from us,
And we receive Thy heaven!

Thomas H. Gill. 1848.

4 When I reach Death's bitter sea,
And its waves roll higher,
Help the more forsaking me,

As the storm draws nigher:
Jesus, leave me not to languish,
Helpless, hopeless, full of anguish !
Tell me,- "Verily I say,

Thou shalt be with Me to-day!"
John Mason Neale. 1862.

Tr. Theoctistus of the Studium. ab. 890.

SUNDAY AFTER ASCENSION.

78.

1 RULER of the hosts of light,
Death hath yielded to Thy might;
And Thy Blood hath marked a road
Which will lead us back to God.
2 From Thy dwelling-place above,
From Thy Father's throne of love,
With Thy look of mercy bless
Those without Thee comfortless.
3 Bitter were Thy throes on earth,
Giving to the Church her birth,
From the spear-wound opening wide
In Thine own life-giving side.

4 Now in glory Thou dost reign,
Won by all Thy toil and pain;
Thence the promised Spirit send,
While our prayers to Thee ascend.
5 Jesus, praise to Thee be given,
With the Father, high in heaven;
Holy Spirit, praise to Thee
Now and through eternity.

Unknown. 1861.

1 LEAVE us not comfortless,

O Thou our risen Lord!

S. M.

But send Thy Spirit down, to bless
And guide us with Thy Word.

2 By Him Thy gifts impart,

Light, peace, and joy, and love;
Seal of adoption in our heart,

Earnest of heaven above.

Josiah Conder. 1836.

1 FATHER, glorify Thy Son;
Answer His prevailing prayer;
Send that Intercessor down,

Send that other Comforter,
Whom believingly we claim,
Whom we ask in Jesus' name.
2 Wilt Thou not the promise seal,
True and gracious as Thou art,
Send the Comforter to dwell
Every moment in our heart?
Yes, Thou must the grace bestow:
Jesus said, it shall be so.

C. Wesley. 1747.

L. M. 61.
1 FATHER-for Thou my Father art-
Send forth the Spirit of Thy Son;
Breathe Him into my longing heart,
And make me know as I am known:
Make me Thy conscious child, that I
May "Father, Abba Father," cry!
20 that the Comforter would come!

Nor visit as a transient guest,
But fix in me His constant home,
