CIII. HYMNS FOR THOSE THAT WAIT FOR FULL REDEMPTION.
Hymn 1.
O Saviour from sin,
If mine Thou hast been,
And sprinkled my conscience, and bid me be clean;
With Thy servant, while tried
In the furnace, abide,
And O! let me never be torn from Thy side.
If mine Thou hast been,
And sprinkled my conscience, and bid me be clean;
With Thy servant, while tried
In the furnace, abide,
And O! let me never be torn from Thy side.
I never shall rest,
Or be perfectly blest,
While the tempter hath left any hold in my breast:
Thou hast loosen'd the chain,
Thou hast soften'd the pain,
Yet my sorrow, as long as my sin, must remain.
Or be perfectly blest,
While the tempter hath left any hold in my breast:
Thou hast loosen'd the chain,
Thou hast soften'd the pain,
Yet my sorrow, as long as my sin, must remain.
From actual blame
I am saved by Thy name,
But mourn, till Thou save me from all that I am
Till more than subdued,
Till entirely renew'd
Both my heart, and my nature are wash'd in Thy blood.
I am saved by Thy name,
But mourn, till Thou save me from all that I am
Till more than subdued,
Till entirely renew'd
Both my heart, and my nature are wash'd in Thy blood.
290
My pardon is sure,
If I always endure;
But still I expect Thee to perfect my cure:
With trembling and fear,
While sin is so near,
I pass the short time of my pilgrimage here.
If I always endure;
But still I expect Thee to perfect my cure:
With trembling and fear,
While sin is so near,
I pass the short time of my pilgrimage here.
Fain would I be clean,
And all-holy within;
I thirst for Thine utmost salvation from sin:
Thou still dost restrain;
But how great is my pain,
When I do not commit it, to feel that I can.
And all-holy within;
I thirst for Thine utmost salvation from sin:
Thou still dost restrain;
But how great is my pain,
When I do not commit it, to feel that I can.
For this do I wail
Through the sorrowful vale,
Till my sin and my trouble at once Thou expel:
This, this is my load,
Though absolved by Thy blood,
I am capable still of offending my God.
Through the sorrowful vale,
Till my sin and my trouble at once Thou expel:
This, this is my load,
Though absolved by Thy blood,
I am capable still of offending my God.
Come, Jesus, and cleanse
My inbred offence,
O take the occasion of stumbling from hence,
The infection within,
The possible sin
Extirpate, by bringing Thy righteousness in.
My inbred offence,
O take the occasion of stumbling from hence,
The infection within,
The possible sin
Extirpate, by bringing Thy righteousness in.
By all Thou hast done
For me to atone,
By all Thou hast suffer'd to make me Thine own,
By all which Thou art,
I beseech Thee, convert,
And renew, and eternally reign in my heart.

[O Thou gentle Lamb of God]
O Thou gentle Lamb of God,
Hear Thy ransom'd follower pray,
Wash me in Thy cleansing blood,
Bear my inbred sin away;
All the curse, the plague remove,
All the hell of creature-love.
Hear Thy ransom'd follower pray,
Wash me in Thy cleansing blood,
Bear my inbred sin away;
All the curse, the plague remove,
All the hell of creature-love.
Take the guilt and power of sin,
Take its cursed relics hence;
Make me throughly pure within
By Thy love's omnipotence;
Let me all Thy nature have,
Feel Thine utmost power to save.
Take its cursed relics hence;
Make me throughly pure within
By Thy love's omnipotence;
Let me all Thy nature have,
Feel Thine utmost power to save.
Bounds I will not set to Thee,
Shorten Thine almighty hand:
Save from all iniquity,
Let not sin's foundations stand,
Every stone o'erturn, o'erthrow;
I believe it may be so.
Shorten Thine almighty hand:
Save from all iniquity,
Let not sin's foundations stand,
Every stone o'erturn, o'erthrow;

Wilt Thou lop the boughs of sin,
Leaving still the stock behind?
No, Thy love shall work within,
Quite expel the carnal mind,
Root and branch destroy my foe;
I believe it shall be so.

Being of beings, God of love,
High-seated on Thy dazzling throne,
Pity, and draw me from above,
Raise, and bring home Thy banish'd son.

Pity, and draw me from above,
Raise, and bring home Thy banish'd son.

I am not as from Thee I came:
Out of my second chaos call:
Fallen alas! from Thee I am;
O God, redeem me from my fall.
Out of my second chaos call:
Fallen alas! from Thee I am;
O God, redeem me from my fall.
Laid in the lowest deep of sin,
Enslaved to vain and base desires,
Sensibly dead, and dark within,
Fit fuel for infernal fires;
Enslaved to vain and base desires,
Sensibly dead, and dark within,
Fit fuel for infernal fires;
An outcast from Thy blissful face,
Broke off from God, and scatter'd wide,
Most fallen of that fallen race,
For which Thy only Son hath died.
Broke off from God, and scatter'd wide,
Most fallen of that fallen race,
For which Thy only Son hath died.
Father of mercies, hear my cry,
This, only this is all my plea,
Jesus the Just hath bow'd the sky,
Thy Son hath died, hath died for me.
This, only this is all my plea,
Jesus the Just hath bow'd the sky,
Thy Son hath died, hath died for me.
Jesus hath undertook my cause,
Finish'd the great redeeming plan,
Humbled to death my Saviour was,
And stoop'd to raise His creature man.
Finish'd the great redeeming plan,
Humbled to death my Saviour was,
And stoop'd to raise His creature man.
By love, mere pitying love, inclined,
He caught my nature in its fall,
A common Head of all mankind,
Assumed the flesh, and guilt of all.
He caught my nature in its fall,
A common Head of all mankind,
Assumed the flesh, and guilt of all.
Father, Thou know'st He bought my peace,
My life, and health, and liberty,
My present, and eternal bliss;
He purchased all Thou art for me.
My life, and health, and liberty,
My present, and eternal bliss;
He purchased all Thou art for me.
Assured Thy fulness to receive,
With earnest, calm desire I wait,
For all Thou hast in Christ to give,
The glories of my first estate.

All, all I shall in Christ obtain,
Pardon, and paradise, and heaven.

Rests within his Shepherd's arms!
Who his quiet shall molest,
Who shall violate his rest?

Jesus takes his every care,
He who found the wandering sheep,
Jesus still delights to keep.

Dogs, and wolves in vain appear,
Roaring lions still are near,
Ravening wolves unmoved he sees
Howling in the wilderness.
Roaring lions still are near,

Calm he eyes them from above,
Safe in his Protector's love,
There he rests, and undismay'd
Drops his arms, and hangs his head.

Steadfastly to Jesus cleave,
On His only love rely,
Smile at the destroyer nigh!

Free from sin, and servile fear,
Have my Jesus ever near,
All His care rejoice to prove,
All His paradise of love.

Bring me back, and lead, and keep,
Take on Thee my every care,
Bear me, on Thy bosom bear.
Bring me back, and lead, and keep,
Take on Thee my every care,
Bear me, on Thy bosom bear.
Let me know my Shepherd's voice,
More, and more in Thee rejoice;
More, and more of Thee receive,
Ever in Thy Spirit live:
More, and more in Thee rejoice;
More, and more of Thee receive,
Ever in Thy Spirit live:
Live, till all Thy life I know,
Perfect in my Lord below,
Gladly then from earth remove,
Gather'd to the fold above.

Gladly then from earth remove,
Gather'd to the fold above.
O that I at last may stand
With the sheep at Thy right hand,
Take the crown so freely given,
Enter in by Thee to heaven!

Jesu, my Hope, my Joy, my Rest,

A life of grief and pain;
Give me the dearly purchased good,
Bought with Thy heart's last drop of blood,
Nor live, nor die in vain.

Send down Thy Spirit from above,
Spirit of power, and health, and love,
And let me sin no more.

“Let God be true, and every man a liar.”
—Romans iii. 4.

There's no perfection here below?”

To cleanse from all unrighteousness,
Jesus His life a ransom gave;
To make the first transgression cease,
To finish sin, my Lord was slain,
But died (the faithless cry) in vain.

No, though He died to have it done,
We cannot live to God alone.

We all have our infirmities:
Live without sin! impossible!
With God impossible is this:
At least He will not sanctify,
He will not cleanse us—till we die.”

With all that encompass His throne!
A widow, a widow indeed,
A mother in Israel is gone:
The winter of trouble is past,
The storms of affliction are o'er,
Her struggle is ended at last,
And sorrow and death are no more.
The soul hath o'ertaken her mate,
And caught him again in the sky,
Advanced to her happy estate,
And pleasure that never shall die,
Where glorified spirits by sight
Converse in their holy abode,
As stars in the firmament bright,
And pure as the angels of God.

That first resurrection attain,
With rapture each other embrace,

While all in His praises agree,

And shine with the glory they see!

Hath He therefore cursed the rest?
No, like rain His blessings fall,

Taught of God, like Him we love
All to whom His bowels move;
Pity, and good-will we find
To the whole of human kind:

These we seek, in these we rest,
Most desire, and love the best.

Yet of these if God's decree
