[Jesus, we have long expected]

O Lord, be gracious unto us, &c. —xxxiii. 2.

Jesus, we have long expected
Thee our Saviour-God to see:
Can we be at last rejected,
Left to die for want of Thee?
Sinners at Thy footstool dying,
Us Thou surely wilt forgive,
Every soul on Thee relying
Must by Thee for ever live.

403

Through the dark distressing hour
Let us still perceive Thee near:
Then reveal Thy glorious power,
Faith's almighty Finisher,
Then in tenderest compassion
All our griefs and sins remove,
Be Thyself our full salvation,
Be Thyself our perfect love.
