GENERAL HYMNS.

Give us holy freedom, Fill our hearts with love; Draw us, HOLY JESUS! To the realms above.

JESU, meek and gentle, SON of GOD most high,

Pitying, loving SAVIOUR,

Hear Thy children's cry. Amen.

JESU, my LORD, my GoD, my all, Hear me, blest SAVIOUR, when I call; Hear me, and from Thy dwelling- place Pour down the riches of Thy grace;

JESU, my LORD, I Thee adore,

O make me love Thee more and more.

JESU, too late I Thee have sought, How can I love Thee as I ought? And how extol Thy matchless fame, The glorious beauty of Thy Name? JESU, my LORD,& c.

JESU, what didst Thou find in me, That Thou hast dealt so lovingly? How great the joy that Thou hast brought, So far exceeding hope or thought! JESU, my LORD,& c.

And Thou, blest SAVIOUR, Thou art mine. JESU, my LORD, I Thee adore,

O make me love Thee more and more. Amen.
