2 From the depths of nature's blindness,
From the hardening power of sin,
From all malice and unkindness,
From the pride that lurks within,
By Thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

3 When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour, By Thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

4 When the world around is smiling,
In the time of wealth and ease,
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling,
In the day of health and peace,
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

5 In the weary hours of sickness,
In the times of grief and pain,
When we feel our mortal weakness,
When the creature's help is vain,
By Thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

6 In the solemn hour of dying,
In the awful judgment day,

May our souls, on Thee relying,
Find Thee still our Rock and Stay :
By Thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

2 Pass me not, O gracious Father,

Sinful though my heart may be; Thou might'st pass me, but the rather Let Thy mercy light on me.-REF.

3 Pass me not, O tender Saviour,

Let me love and cling to Thee; I am longing for Thy favor;

When Thou comest, call for me.-REF.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,

Thou canst make the blind to see; Witnesser of Jesus' merit,

Speak the word of power to me.-REF.

466 UFFINGHAM. L. M.

5 Have I long in sin been sleeping,
Long been slighting, grieving Thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
O forgive and rescue me.-REF.

6 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of God, so rich and free,
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me.-REF.

7 Pass me not, but, pardon bringing,
Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee;
While the streams of life are springing:
Blessing others, O bless me.-REF.
Elizabeth Codner, 1860, alt.

467 SUPPLICATION. 8. 7. 8. 7. D.

1. Take me, O my Fa-ther, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son;

O: 4 25-4

That which Thou wouldst have me, make me, Let Thy will in me be done.

Long from Thee my foot-steps stray -ing, Thorn-y proved the way I

trod;

Weary come I now, and praying, Take me to Thy love, my God.

2 Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At Thy feet, O Father, falling,

To Thy household take me in.
Freely now to Thee I proffer

This relenting heart of mine;
Freely life and soul I offer,

Gift unworthy love like Thine.

466 UFFINGHAM. L. M. 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscious guilt oppressed; Christ and His cross my only plea : O God, be merciful to me. 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me.

3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying,

Now I look in hope to Thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to Thy loving breast; In Thy love for ever living

I must be for ever blest.

Rev. Ray Palmer, 1864.

4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee :

O God, be merciful to me.

5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God has been merciful to me.

Rev. Cornelius Elven, 1852.

2 By Thy helpless infant years,
By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the savage wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's power:
Turn, O turn a pitying eye,
Hear our solemn litany!

3 By the sacred grief that wept
O'er the grave where Lazarus slept;
By the boding tears that flowed
Over Salem's loved abode;
By the anguished sigh that told
Treachery lurked within Thy fold;
From Thy seat above the sky,
Hear our solemn litany!

Faith and

4 By the burden Thou didst bear;
By Thine agony of prayer,
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn litany!

5 By Thy deep expiring groan;
By the sad sepulchral stone;
By the vault, whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God:
O from earth to heaven restored,
Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry
Of our solemn litany!

Salvation.

1. Je-sus, Lov-er of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly While the billows near me

[graphic][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed]

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 Wilt Thou not regard my call?
Wilt Thou not accept my prayer?
Lo, I sink, I faint, I fall!

Lo, on Thee I cast my care; Reach me out Thy gracious hand. While I of Thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand,

Dying, and behold I live!

4 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.

5 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 to Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity!

Jesus, Lov - er of my soul, Let me to Thy bo- som fly While the billows near me roll, While the tem- pest still is high; D.C.-Safe in to the ha - ven guide; O re-ceive my soul at last!
