HYMN LIII.
[God of all grace and patience, hear]
God of all grace and patience, hear
My supplicating cry,
And show me Thy salvation near
While at the point to die.
My supplicating cry,
And show me Thy salvation near
While at the point to die.
Before my soul and body part,
The carnal enmity,
The plague expel out of my heart,
And part my sin and me.
The carnal enmity,
The plague expel out of my heart,
And part my sin and me.

Such power belongs to Thee alone,
Who didst for sinners bleed,
And purchase by Thy dying groan
The benefits I need.
Who didst for sinners bleed,
And purchase by Thy dying groan
The benefits I need.
Thou shedd'st Thy blood that I might find
Redemption in Thy blood,
And separate from sin, be join'd
Eternally to God.
Redemption in Thy blood,
And separate from sin, be join'd
Eternally to God.
Thy own kind purpose to fulfil,
Come, Saviour, from above,
And rooting out the inbred ill,
Fill all my soul with love;
Come, Saviour, from above,
And rooting out the inbred ill,
Fill all my soul with love;
Finish the first transgression, Thou
Who hast my sins forgiven,
And lo, my willing head I bow,
And go in peace to heaven!
Who hast my sins forgiven,
And lo, my willing head I bow,
And go in peace to heaven!
