HYMN CI.

[To me Thy compassion extend]

To me Thy compassion extend,
For the sake of Thy heavenly Son,
From Satan and sin to defend,
And a world full of evil unknown:
463

An invisible enemy's power
Ever near to destroy me, I have,
A lion intent to devour:
Let mercy be nearer to save.
That mercy I languish to feel,
If mercy infuse the desire,
My need of a Saviour reveal,
My soul with the hunger inspire:
O Father, an infant allure
In a way that I never have known,
And me by Thy Spirit assure
That mercy and Jesus are one.
