[Saviour, on me the grace bestow]

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar, &c. —iii. 12.

Saviour, on me the grace bestow
To trample on my mortal foe,
Conqueror of death with Thee to rise,
And claim my station in the skies,
Fix'd as the throne which ne'er can move,
A pillar in Thy church above.
As beautiful, as useful there,
May I that weight of glory bear,
With all who finally o'ercome,
Supporters of the heavenly dome,
Of perfect holiness possest,
For ever in Thy presence blest.
Write upon me the Name Divine,
And let Thy Father's nature shine,
His image visibly exprest,
His glory pouring from my breast
O'er all my bright humanity,
Transform'd into the God I see.
Inscribing with the city's name
The heavenly new Jerusalem,

229

To me the victor's title give
Among Thy glorious saints to live,
And all their happiness to know,
A citizen of heaven below.
When Thou hadst all Thy foes o'ercome,
Returning to Thy glorious home,
Thou didst receive the full reward,
That I might share it with my Lord,
And thus Thine own new name obtain,
And one with Thee for ever reign.
