XIV.

Now for one powerful glance, Dear SAVIOUR, from thy face! This rebel-heart no more withstands, But sinks beneath thy grace.

XV..

O'ercome by dying love I fall,
Here at thy cross I lie:

And throw my flesh, my soul, my all,
And weep, and love, and die.

XVI.

"Rise, says the Prince of mercy, rise, "With joy and pity in his eyes: "Rise, and behold my wounded veins, "Here flows the blood to wash thy stains.

XVII.

"See my great Father reconcil'd:" He said. And lo, the Father smil'd; The joyful cherubs clapp'd their wings, And sounded grace on all their strings.

HYMN XXX. C. M.

The Comparison and Complaint

I.

NFINITE Power, eternal LORD

How sovereign is thy hand!

All nature rose to obey thy word,
And moves at thy command.

II.

With steady course thy shining sun
Keeps his appointed way;

VIII.

But I, a stupid fool,

How long have I withstood The blessings purchas'd with his soul, And paid for all in blood?

IX.

The heav'nly dove came down
And tender'd me his wings
To mount me upward to a crown,
And bright immortal things.

X.

LORD, I'm asham'd to say
That I refus'd thy dove,
And sent thy Spirit griev'd away
To his own realms of love.

XI.

Not all thine heav'nly charms,
Nor terrors of thy hand,

Could force me to lay down my arms,
And bow to thy command.

XII.

LORD, 'tis against thy face
My sins like arrows rise,

And yet, and yet (O matchless grace !}
Thy thunder silent lies.

XIII.

O shall I never feel

The meltings of thy love?
LORD, is my heart of harden'd steel

That mercy cannot move?

XIV.

Now for one powerful glance, Dear SAVIOUR, from thy face! This rebel-heart no more withstands, But sinks beneath thy grace.

Here at thy cross I lie:

And weep,

The Comparison and Complaint

INFINT

I..

NFINITE Power, eternal LORD How sovereign is thy hand! All nature rose to obey thy word, And moves at thy command.

II.

With steady course thy shining sun
Keeps his appointed way;

And all the hours obedient run
The circle of the day.

III.

But ah! how wide my spirit flies,
And wanders from her GOD!
My soul forgets the heav'nly prize,
And treads the downward road.

IV.

The raging fire and stormy sea,
Perform thine awful will,
And every beast and every tree,
Thy great designs fulfil:

V.

While my wild passions rage within, Nor thy commands obey;

And flesh and sense, enslav'd to sin, Draw my best thoughts away.

VI.

Shall creatures of a meaner frame Pay all their dues to thee; Creatures, that never knew thy name, That never lov'd like me?

VII.

Great GOD! create my soul new;
Conform my heart to thine,
Melt down my will, and let it flow,
And take the mould divine.

VIII.

Seize my whole frame into, thy hand; Here all my pow'rs I bring; Manage the wheels by thy command, And govern every spring.

IX.

Then shall my feet no more depart,
Nor wand'ring senses rove;
Devotion shall be all my heart,
And all my passions love.

X.

Then not the sun shall more than I
His Maker's law perform,
Nor travel swifter through the sky,
Nor with a zeal so warm.

HYMN XXXI. C. M.

The converted Thief.

I.

S on the cross the Saviour hung,
And wept, and bled, and dy'd,

He pour'd salvation on a wretch
That languish'd at his side.

11.

His crimes with inward grief and shame,
The penitent confess'd;

Then turn'd his dying eyes to CHRIST,
And thus his prayer address'd:

III.

"JESUS, thou son and heir of heaven,
"Thou spotless lamb of GOD,
"I see thee bath'd in sweat and tears,
"And welt'ring in thy blood.

"Yet quickly from these scenes of woe, "In triumph thou shalt rise,
