The witness in himself he hath,
And consciously believes,
The faith that conquers all,
And doth the mountain move,
And saves whoe'er on Jesus call,
And perfects them in love.

56 (30) C.M.

C. WESLEY.

COME, O Thou all-victorious Lord,

Thy power to us make known;
Strike with the hammer of Thy word,
And break these hearts of stone!
2 O that we all might now begin
Our foolishness to mourn;
And turn at once from every sin,
And to our Saviour turn!

3 Give us ourselves and Thee to know
In this our gracious day;
Repentance unto life bestow,
And take our sins away.

4 Conclude us first in unbelief,
And freely then release;

Fill every soul with sacred grief,
And then with sacred peace.

5 Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve,
And then enrich the poor;

The knowledge of our sickness give;
The knowledge of our cure.

6 That blessed sense of guilt impart,
And make us feel our load;
Trouble, and wash the troubled heart
In Thine atoning blood.

7 Our desperate state through sin declare,
And speak our sins forgiven;
By perfect holiness prepare,
And take us up to heaven.

C. WESLEY.

SINNERS, your hearts lift up,
Partakers of your hope!

This, the day of Pentecost;
Ask, and ye shall all receive;
Surely now the Holy Ghost
God to all that ask shall give.
2 Ye all may freely take

The grace for Jesu's sake:
He for every man hath died:
He for all hath risen again:
Jesus now is glorified:

Gifts He hath received for men.

3

He sends them from the skies
On all His enemies:

4

By His cross He now hath led
Captive our captivity:

We shall all be free indeed,

Christ, the Son, shall make us free. Blessings on all He pours, In never-ceasing showers; All He waters from above; Offers all His joy and peace, Settled comfort, perfect love, Everlasting righteousness. 5 All may from Him receive A power to turn and live; Grace for every soul is free; All may hear the effectual call; All the Light of Life may see; All may feel He died for all.

Drop down in showers of love,
Ye heavens, from above!

Righteousness, ye skies, pour down!
Open, earth, and take it in!
Claim the Spirit for your own,
Sinners, and be saved from sin!

Father, behold, we claim
The gift in Jesu's Name!
Him, the promised Comforter,
Into all our spirits pour;
Let Him fix His mansion here,

Come, and never leave us more!

COME, O Thou Mighty Lord!

Come, O Thou Prince of Peace!
Send forth the Gospel word,
And crown it with success:
Now to Thy ransomed ones appear,
And plant Thy heavenly kingdom here.

Claim for Thy lawful right

The souls before Thee bowed;
From darkness turn to light,

From Satan's power to God,

That they may all Thy love receive
And, saved from sin, for ever live.
In this accepted hour

A gracious token show;

And make us own Thy power,

And groan ourselves to know,
Weep for our sins, and deeply mourn,
And to a pardoning God return.
Gather the outcasts in,

Who feel their guilty load;
Redeem the slaves of sin,

And point them to Thy blood:
Thy blood be to our hearts applied,
And speak us freely justified.

FATHER, if justly still we claim

H. MORE

To us and ours the promise made,
To us be graciously the same,
And crown with living fire our head.
2 Our claim admit, and from above
Of holiness the Spirit shower,

Of wise discernment, humble love;
And zeal, and unity, and power.
3 The Spirit of convincing speech,
Of power demonstrative, impart;

Such as may every conscience reach, And sound the unbelieving heart: 4 The Spirit of refining fire,

Searching the inmost of the mind, To purge all fierce and foul desire, And kindle life more pure and kind: 5 The Spirit of faith, in this Thy day, To break the power of cancelled sin, Tread down its strength, o'erturn its sway, And still the conquest more than win. 6 The Spirit breathe of inward life, Which in our hearts Thy laws may write; Then grief expires, and pain, and strife; "Tis nature all, and all delight.

[blocks in formation]

N all the earth Thy Spirit shower; The earth in righteousness renew; Thy kingdom come, and hell's o'erpower, And to Thy sceptre all subdue.

2 Like mighty wind, or torrent fierce, Let it opposers all o'errun;

And every law of sin reverse,

That faith and love may make all one.
3 Yea, let Thy Spirit in every place
Its richer energy declare;

While lovely tempers, fruits of grace,
The kingdom of Thy Christ prepare.
4 Grant this, O holy God, and true!
The ancient seers Thou didst inspire;
To us perform the promise due;
Descend, and crown us now with fire!

6-78.

AMB of God, who bear'st away
L'All the sins of all mankind,

Bow a nation to Thy sway;--
While we may acceptance find,

Let us thankfully embrace
The last offers of Thy grace.
2 Thou Thy messengers hast sent,
Joyful tidings to proclaim,
Willing we should all repent,
Know salvation in Thy Name,
Feel our sins by grace forgiven,
Find in Thee the Way to heaven.
3 Jesus, roll away the stone;

Good Physician, show Thine art:
Make Thy healing virtue known;
Break the unbelieving heart:
Soften the obdurate crowd;
Melt the rebels with Thy blood!
4 Let Thy dying love constrain

62

Those who disregard Thy frown;
Sink the mountain to a plain;
Bring the pride of sinners down
By Thy bloody cross subdue;
Tell them, "I have died for you!"

Luther.

AVIOUR, none like Thee can teach,

SNor yet unfold Thy word;

None, like Thee, the heart can reach,
And heavenly light afford.
Rich in wisdom, rich in love,
Upon us Thy grace bestow;
Raise our thoughts to things above;
Teach us Thyself to know.

2 Speak to us from lips of love,
"And give the listening ear;
Thus our waiting souls shall prove,
That Thou art present here.

Ever to Thy righteous word,
(Man's rebellious heart to smite,)
Do Thou lend Thy blessing, Lord,
A blessing infinite.

3 In Thy Person we descry

Redemption's glorious Lord;
