5 Many years have pass'd since then, 6 Thou hast help'd in every need, 7 No-1 must maintain my hold, 2 When I plead for Jesu's sake. 57 3 The Broken Heart. DESCEND my gracious God, And to me now impart S. M.. That precious blessing, bought with blood, A new, and broken heart. From Thee I wander, Lord, To mourn my follies done, Bestow upon me, through thy Son, 4 5 O keep me near thy side, O come unto my soul, And never more depart: Lord, condescend to make me whole, 58 The Influence of the Spirit desired. P to Thy seat, eternal God, UP L. M. Now would mine ardent passions soar; Fain would I view thy bright abode, And love, and wonder, and adore. 2 Spirit of peace, immortal dove, Here let thy gentle influence reign; 3 Descend with all thy sacred light, 4 Not all the sweets beneath the sky; 5 Blest with thy presence I could meet Death, though in all its terrors drest; Nor while I taste a joy so sweet, One fear disturb my peaceful breast. 6 Come then-or bid my longing soul 59 Waiting upon God. THOU loving Jesus, dearest Lord, L. M. Whose favours endless joys afford, 2 In pity to my soul descend, And chase these heavy glooms away; 3 So shall I better see the way Which leads to happiness and Thee ; 4 There, where the blest, unnumber'd throng, E 5 I'd spend a long eternity, 60 OF For a renewed Heart, P. M. H Lord, how faithless is my heart, And nature strives to bear the sway: And bind my passions to thy cross; 3 Grace, grace shall wipe away my tears, The maladies of sin remove, And fill my soul with holy love. 4 Henceforth I'd serve Thee, if Thou❜lt please To gird me with a heav'nly pow'r ; I'd sing the glories of thy grace, Till all my pilgrimage be o'er; With hallow'd fire inspire my tongue, And love shall be my endless song! FATHER, Son, and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One; As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done! Praise by all to Thee be giv'n, Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n! 2 If so poor a worm as I May to thy great glory live, All mine actions sanctify, All my thoughts and words receive; 3 Take my soul and body's pow'rs, 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One! As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done. Praise by all to Thee be giv'n, Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n! 7s. |
