XXIV. THE SAME.
Hymn 2.
[Jesu, full of grace for me]
Jesu, full of grace for me,
Help my soul's infirmity;
Grant the supplicating grace,
Give the power to seek Thy face:
Hear a feeble sinner groan,
Burden'd with an heart of stone;
Take the heart of stone away,
Give me will, and power to pray.
Help my soul's infirmity;
173
Give the power to seek Thy face:
Hear a feeble sinner groan,
Burden'd with an heart of stone;
Take the heart of stone away,
Give me will, and power to pray.
Once again revive the dead,
Stir me up to ask Thine aid;
By Thy Spirit's breath incline
This unyielding heart of mine;
Now the rock in sunder rend,
Now eject the silent fiend,
Power into my soul convey,
Sigh the pitying Ephphatha!
Stir me up to ask Thine aid;
By Thy Spirit's breath incline
This unyielding heart of mine;
Now the rock in sunder rend,
Now eject the silent fiend,
Power into my soul convey,
Sigh the pitying Ephphatha!
O my God, how long shall I
Coldly with my lips draw nigh,
Lift my eyes with useless pain,
Drop their weary lids again,
Feebly struggle to declare
The sad meaning of my prayer,
Give the fruitless labour o'er,
Gasp for utterance no more!
Coldly with my lips draw nigh,
Lift my eyes with useless pain,
Drop their weary lids again,
Feebly struggle to declare
The sad meaning of my prayer,
Give the fruitless labour o'er,
Gasp for utterance no more!
Help a poor and needy soul,
Make the wilderness a pool,
Pour Thy Spirit from above,
Bless me with a flood of love;
For Thy mercy sake alone
Let the miracle be done;
Take my heart of stone away,
Give me will, and power to pray.
Make the wilderness a pool,
Pour Thy Spirit from above,
Bless me with a flood of love;
For Thy mercy sake alone
Let the miracle be done;
Take my heart of stone away,
Give me will, and power to pray.
