CCXVIII. THE SAME.

Hymn 28.

[Great Searcher of hearts]

Great Searcher of hearts,
In our innermost parts
Declare the whole counsel Divine,
Our evils remove,
Our graces improve,
And secure us eternally Thine.
On me and my friend
The Comforter send,
The Fountain of blessings unknown;
On both let Him flow,
For we neither can know,
Or inherit a blessing alone.
Yet, Lord, if it be
Unpleasing to Thee
Our oneness of mind and of heart,
We call for the sword,
We acknowledge our Lord,
And agree at Thy bidding to part.
440

Thy favour to know,
We each other forego,
If our love be an hindrance to Thine;
Thy counsel we take,
And each other forsake,
To recover the friendship Divine.
At Jesus's call
We freely sell all
The delights of reciprocal love;
For that better hope
We calmly give up,
And reposit our treasure above.
Made perfect through woe,
From our parting below
To our last happy meeting we rise,
Our friendship renew,
(For Who promised is true,)
And embrace evermore in the skies.
