HYMN XVI.

[Love Divine, for whom I languish]

Love Divine, for whom I languish,
Bring relief To my grief,
To my spirit's anguish.
Ease of every heart-oppression,
O come in, End my sin,
Finish my transgression.
Witness, seal of sin forgiven,
When Thou art In my heart,
Thou art instant heaven.
Ready made for my translation,
Then I prove; God is love,
Jesus is salvation.
Then, partaker of Thy nature,
I fulfil All the will
Of my New-Creator.

Into nothing sink before Thee,
Sink and rise, Grasp the prize,
See my Lord in glory.
