L.M.

WERE the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small :
Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

714 BLESS'D are the pure in heart,

S.M.

For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is Christ's abode.

The Lord, who left the heavens
Our life and peace to bring,
To dwell in lowliness with men,
Their pattern and their king ;
He to the lowly soul

Doth still himself impart,

And for his dwelling and his throne
Chooseth the pure in heart.

Lord, we thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be;
Give us a pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for thee.

715 A FULNESS resides in Jesus our Head,

10.II.

And ever abides to answer our need ; The Father's good pleasure has laid up in store,

A plentiful treasure to give to the poor.

Whate'er be our wants, we need not to fear; Our numerous complaints his mercy will hear; His fulness shall yield us abundant supplies; His buckler shall shield us when dangers arise.

When troubles attend, or danger or strife,
His love will defend and guard us through life;
And when we are fainting and ready to die,
Whatever is wanting his hand will supply.

716 WORTHY art thou, O dying Lamb!

C.M.

717

S.M.

718

75.

Worthy, O bleeding Lord;
Eternal, Infinite, I AM,

Ceaseless to be adored!
Fulness of riches is in thee!
From thee all mercies spring:
And grace and love, divine and free,
And power enlivening.

Out of the deep of every heart,
Let praise to thee ascend :

Till thou to heaven shalt us translate,
Where praises never end.

I REST upon thy word,

The promise is for me;

My succour and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from thee.

But let me still abide,

Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
Into thy perfect love.

IN thy promises I trust,
In thy precious word confide,
I am prostrate in the dust,
I with Christ was crucified.
Jesus lives he fills my soul,
Perfected in him I am ;

I am every whit made whole;
Glory, glory to the Lamb!

719 BE dead, my heart, to worldly charms;

C.M.

Be dead to every sin;

And tell the boldest foes without,
That Jesus reigns within.
My life with his united stands,
Nor asks a surer ground;

He keeps me in his gracious arms,
Where heaven itself is found.

720 GIVE tongues of fire and hearts of love,

L.M.

To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
Be darkness, at thy coming, light,
Confusion, order in thy path ;

Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

721 I AM waiting for the coming

8.7.

Of the Lord who died for me;
Oh, his words have thrilled my spirit,
"I will come again for thee."
I can almost hear his footfall
On the threshold of the door,
And my heart, my heart is longing
To be his for evermore.

722 HASTEN, Lord! the promised hour ;

7s.

Come in glory and in power;
Still thy foes are unsubdued;
Nature sighs to be renewed.

Time has nearly reach'd its sum,

All things with thy bride say “Come ;"
Jesus, whom all worlds adore,

Come, and reign for evermore!

723 ENRICH us with thy blessing, Lord; Help us to feed upon thy word;

L.M. All we have done amiss, forgive,

And let thy truth within us live.
Though we are guilty, thou art good;
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood ;
From every burden grant release,
And fill us all with perfect peace.

724 NOW to the God of victory,
Immortal thanks be paid,

C.M.

725

S.M.

Who makes us conquerors while we die,
Through Christ our living Head.
MAKE me to understand

Thy precepts and thy will;
Thy wondrous works on every hand,
I'll sing and talk of still.

726 LET us, in life and death,

S.M.

Thy steadfast truth declare;
And publish with our latest breath,
Thy love, and guardian care.

727 STRIPP'D of my earthly friends,

S.M.

I find them all in One;

And peace, and joy that never ends,
And heav'n, in Christ alone!

728 GRANT, oh, grant thy Spirit's teaching,

8.7.

That I may not go astray,

Till, the gate of heaven reaching,
Earth and sin are pass'd away.

729 'TIS in cleaving to thee only,

That my spirit finds its rest ;

8.7. 'Tis while gazing on their beauty, I am truly, fully blest.

Keep me, then, Lord Jesus, near thee,
Resting in thy precious love;

Till thine unveiled presence cheer me,
In thine own blest courts above.

730 GOD hath laid up in heav'n for me,

C.M.

A crown which cannot fade ;
The righteous Judge at that great day
Shall place it on my head.

Nor hath the King of grace decreed

The crown for me alone;

But all that love and long to see
Th' appearance of his Son.

731 WHEN from the curse he sets us free,

C.M.

He makes our natures clean;
Nor would he send his Son to be
The minister of sin.

732 OUR Father in heaven, we hallow thy

IIS.

S.M.

name,
[its claim!
O'er earth may thy kingdom establish
Oh, give to us daily our portion of bread;
It is from thy bounty that all must be
fed.

Forgive our transgressions, and teach us
to know
[each foe;
The humble compassion that pardons
Keep us from temptation, from weakness,
and sin,

And thine be the glory for ever.

MY Saviour and my King,

Thy beauties are divine;
Thy lips with blessings overflow,
And every grace is thine.

Amen.
