5 Give to mine eyes refreshing tears, And kindle my relentings now; Fill my whole soul with filial fears;

To thy sweet yoke my spirit bow; Bend by thy grace, O bend or break The iron sinew in my neckbl9vo? a

6 Ah, give me, Lord, the tender heart, That trembles at the' approach of sin :

A godly fear of sin impart:

Implant and root it deep within, That I may dread thy gracious power, And never dare to' offend thee more.

HYMN 187.

SON

[8 lines T's & 6's.]

ON of God, if thy free grace
Again hath rais'd me up;
Call'd me still to seek thy face,
And giv'n me back my hope:
Still thy timely help afford,
And all thy loving-kindness show!
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

2. By me,

O my Saviour, stand,

In sore temptation's hour!

Save me with thine outstretch'd hand, And shew forth all thy power;

O be mindful of thy word!

Thy all-sufficient grace bestow;
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

Give me, Lord, a holy fear,
And fix it in my heart;
That I may from evil near
With timely care depart;

3

Sin be more than hell abhorr'd, Till thou destroy the tyrant foe: Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.

4 Never let me leave thy breast,
From thee, my Saviour, stray;
Thou art my Support and Rest,
My true and living Way!

My exceeding great Reward,
In heaven above, and earth below;
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

5 Never let me go, till I,

Upborne on wings of love,
Gain the region of the sky,

And take my seat above;
See thee by all heaven ador'd,
And all thy glorious fulness know;
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

HYMN 188. [8 lines 7's & 6's.]

LORD, and is thine anger gone! b And art thou pacify'd? After all that I have done,

Dost thou no longer chide? Let thy love my heart constrain, And all my restless passions sway: Keep me, lest I turn again

Out of the narrow way.

2 If I have begun once more Thy sweet return to feel:

་་་

If even now I find thy power 18A4 soul to

Preseiet may al

Still and

Nor struggle out of thine embracej:
Never more resist or fly

From thy pursuing grace,

To the cross, thine altar, bind
Me with the cords of love;
Freedom let me never find

From thee, my Lord, to move,
That I never, never more

May with my much-lov'd Master part,
To the posts of mercy's door
O nail my willing heart!

4 See my utter helplessness,
And leave me not alone;
O preserve in perfect peace,
And seal me for thine own.
More and more thyself reveal,
Thy presence let me always find:
Comfort, and confirm, and heal
My feeble, sin-sick mind.

As the apple of thine eye
Thy weakest servant keep;
Help me at thy feet to lie,

And there for ever weep:
Tears of joy mine eyes o'erflow,
That I have any hope of heaven;
Much of love I ought to know,
For I have much forgiven.

Sure my soul's anchor may remain ; The wounds of Jesus for my sin,

Before the world's foundation slain; Whose Mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, thine everlasting grace

Our scanty thought surpasses far: Thy heart still melts with tenderness; Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinuers to receive, That mercy they may taste, and live. a O Love, thou bottomless abyss!

"

My sins are swallow'd up in thee; Cover'd is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesa's blood, through earth and skies,

Mercy, free boundless Mercy, cries! 4 By faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee;

I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear, Mercy is all that's written there. Tho' waves and storms go o'er my head, Tho' strength and health, and friends be gone;

Though joys be wither'd all and dead Tho' every comfort be withdraw

On this my steadfast soul reliés, T Al Father, thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixt on this ground will I remain,

Tho' my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting Love.

HYMN 190.

[L. M.] TESUS, thy Blood and Righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress: Midst flaming worlds in these array'd, With joy shall I lift up my head. M 2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day; For who-aught to my charge shall lay! Fully absolv'd through these, I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
