Pass me not, O mighty SPIRIT!
Thou canst make the blind to see; Witnesser of JESU's merit, Speak the word of power to meEven me.
p Have I long in sin been sleeping,
Long been slighting, grieving Thee? Has the world my heart been keeping? O forgive and rescue me- Even me. cr Love of GOD, so pure and changeless;
Blood of CHRIST, so rich and free; Grace of GOD, so strong and boundless, Magnify it all in me- Even me. er Pass me not; but, pardon bringing, Bind my heart, O LORD, to Thee; Whilst the streams of life are springing. Blessing others, O bless me- Even me. Amen.
" Oh that I were as in months 630 past."
mf0 FOR a closer walk with GOD, A calm and heavenly frame; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the LAMB!
p What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill.
Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast.
The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be,
cr Help me to tear it from Thy Throne, And worship only Thee.
So shall my walk be close with GOD, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the LAMB.
Amen.

mf On, the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be
2 When I let the SAVIOUR's pity Plead in vain, and proudly answer'd, " All of self, and none of Thee.' er Yet He found me:( dim) I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursèd tree, p Heard Him pray," Forgive them, FATHER;"
And my wistful heart said faintly, pp" Some of self, and some of Thee."
cr Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full and free, Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, Brought me lower, while I whisper'd,
" Less of self, and more of Thee."
mf Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, LORD, Thy love at last hath conquer'd; cr Grant me now my soul's desire, f" None of self, and all of Thee." Amen.
632" He was lost, and is found." mf REDEEM'D, restored, forgiven
Through JESUS' precious Blood, Heirs of His home in Heaven, cr O praise our pardoning GOD! Praise Him in tuneful measures, Who gave His SON to die; fPraise Him Whose sevenfold trea

Enrich and sanctify!
p Once on the dreary mountain We wander'd far and wide, Far from the cleansing Fountain, Far from the piercèd Side; cr But JESUS sought and found us, And wash'd our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye.
Dear Master, Thine the glory
Of each recover'd soul; Ah! who can tell the story p Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; mf Be Thine alone the praise, cr And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days.
p Now keep us, Holy SAVIOUR, In Thy true love and fear; And grant us of Thy favour The grace to persevere; cr Till, in Thy new creation, Earth's time- long travail o'er, We find our full salvation,
f And praise Thee evermore. Amen.

" In that day there shall be a fountain opened for sin and for un633 cleanness."
mf THERE is a fountain fill'd with Blood,
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
