Hymn 9.
[Stay, Thou insulted Spirit stay]
Stay, Thou insulted Spirit stay,
Though I have done Thee such despite,
Nor cast the sinner quite away,
Nor take Thine everlasting flight.
Though I have done Thee such despite,
Nor cast the sinner quite away,
Nor take Thine everlasting flight.
Though I have steel'd my stubborn heart,
And still shook off my guilty fears,
And vex'd and urged Thee to depart
For forty long rebellious years:
And still shook off my guilty fears,
And vex'd and urged Thee to depart
For forty long rebellious years:
Though I have most unfaithful been,
Of all whoe'er Thy grace received,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved:
Of all whoe'er Thy grace received,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved:
Yet O! the chief of sinners spare,
In honour of my great High-Priest,
Nor in Thy righteous anger swear
To' exclude me from Thy people's rest.
In honour of my great High-Priest,
Nor in Thy righteous anger swear
To' exclude me from Thy people's rest.
This only woe I deprecate,
This only plague, I pray, remove,
Nor leave me in my lost estate,
Nor curse me with this want of love.
This only plague, I pray, remove,
Nor leave me in my lost estate,
Nor curse me with this want of love.
371
If yet Thou canst my sins forgive,
From now, O Lord, relieve my woes,
Into Thy rest of love receive,
And bless me with the calm repose.
From now, O Lord, relieve my woes,
Into Thy rest of love receive,
And bless me with the calm repose.
From now my weary soul release,
Upraise me by Thy gracious hand,
And guide into Thy perfect peace,
And bring me to the promised land.
Upraise me by Thy gracious hand,
And guide into Thy perfect peace,
And bring me to the promised land.
