p If a sinner such as I
May to Thy great glory live, All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive; er Claim me for Thy service, claim All I have, and all I am.
p Take my soul and body's powers; Take my memory, mind, and will, All my goods, and all my hours, All I know, and all I feel, er All I think, or speak, or do; Take my heart- but make it new! mf0 my GOD, Thine own I am,
Let me give Thee back Thine own; Freedom, friends, and health, and Consecrate to Thee alone; Thine to live, thrice happy 1; Happier still' if Thine I die.

FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, ONE in THREE, and THREE in ONE, s by the celestial host,

mf ОH! come to the merciful SAVIOUR Who calls you,
Oh! come to the LORD) Who forgives and forgets;
dim Though dark be the fortune on earth that befalls you,
cr There's a bright Home above, where the sun never sets.
Oh! come then to JESUS, Whose Arms are extended
To fold His dear children in closest embrace:
Oh! come, for your exile will shortly be ended,
And JESUS will show you His beautiful Face.
mf Yes, come to the SAVIOUR, Whose
mercy grows brighter
The longer you look at the depth of His love;
And fear not!' tis JESUS! and life's cares grow lighter
As you think of the Home and the Glory above.
p Have you sinn'd as none else in the world have before you?
Are you blacker than all other creatures in guilt?
cr Oh, fear not, and doubt not! the mother who bore you
mf Loves you less than the SAVIOUR Whose Blood you have spilt!
Come, come to His Feet, and lay open your story
Of suffering and sorrow, of guilt and of shame:
For the pardon of sin is the crown of His glory,
And the joy of our LORD to be true to His Name. Amen.

638
PO GOD, to know that Thou art just Gives hope and peace within; We could not in a mercy trust Which takes no count of sin.
I fain would open to Thy sight My utmost wickedness;
Set, LORD, in Thy most searching light What I have done amiss.
No stern and needless law was ThineHard to be understood
But plainly read in every line, Holy, and just, and good.
Though basely weak my fallen race, And masterful my foes,
I had th' omnipotence of grace To conquer, if I chose.
Well did I know the tender Heart I outraged by my sin,
Yet with the world I would not part, Nor rein my passions in.
My fault it was, O LORD Most High, And not my fate alone: Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I In any way atone.
er Yet there's a plea that I may trustCHRIST died that I might live! Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just; Be faithful, and forgive. Amen.
