HYMN XXIX.
[In mercy infinite]
In mercy infinite,
Who hear'st the sinner's prayer,
A little longer, yet
A little longer spare
Thy work, originally good,
Thy fallen creature—bought with blood.
Who hear'st the sinner's prayer,
A little longer, yet
A little longer spare
Thy work, originally good,
Thy fallen creature—bought with blood.
My soul in life detain,
Saviour and Lord of all,
Till, made like Thee again,
Recover'd from my fall,
Thy long-lost favour I retrieve,
And sinless in Thine image live.
Saviour and Lord of all,
Till, made like Thee again,
Recover'd from my fall,
Thy long-lost favour I retrieve,
And sinless in Thine image live.
Thou hast in patient love
Reserved me to this day,
That I the power may prove
Which takes my sins away,
Which bids my soul depart in peace,
In joy, and finish'd holiness.
Reserved me to this day,
That I the power may prove
Which takes my sins away,
Which bids my soul depart in peace,
In joy, and finish'd holiness.
Bid then my new-born soul
After Thy likeness rise,
The faith that makes me whole
That clears and sanctifies,
To a poor ransom'd worm impart,
With all Thou hast, and all Thou art.
After Thy likeness rise,
The faith that makes me whole
That clears and sanctifies,

With all Thou hast, and all Thou art.
