[That finish'd holiness]

Follow...holiness. —xii. 14.

That finish'd holiness,
My calling's prize I see,
Consummate love, and perfect peace,
And spotless purity.
The nature and the mind,
And image of my Lord,
I follow on with Christ to find,
With paradise restored.
In all the works of faith
My object I pursue,
And strive in duty's narrow path,
To keep the prize in view.
In sure and patient hope
I grasp the crown above,
And strain to reach the mountain top
In all the toils of love.
I urge the race begun,
The cross of Jesus bear,
And fight, and strive, and wrestle on
In agony of prayer;
In Jesu's footsteps tread,
Hard following after God,
Partake the travail of my Head,
And sweat His sweat of blood.
A thousand times I faint,
Yet rise with spirit new,

160

With warmer zeal, and keener want,
My Saviour to pursue.
Saviour, my all Thou art,
Enter this struggling breast,
And bid me now in peace depart
To love's eternal rest.
