6. Looking to Jesus. 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,

Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high,
Hide me, O, my Saviour, hide
"Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none;

Helpless hangs my soul on thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone;

Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stay'd;

All my help from thee I bring: Cover my defenceless head,

With the shadow of thy wing.

3 Jesus, thou art all I want;

Boundless love in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name:

I am all unrighteousness;
Vile, and full of sin I am;

Thou art full of truth and grace.

4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;

Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity.

7. Seeking for a Blessing. 1 Son of God, thy blessing grant, Still supply my ev'ry want; Tree of life, thine influence give, Nourish me, and bid me live. Tend'rest branch, alas! am 1; Without thee I droop and die, Weak as helpless infancy; O confirm my soul in thee! 2 Unsustain'd by thee, I fall; Send the strength for which I call: Weaker than a bruised reed, Help I ev'ry moment need. All my hopes on thee depend; Love me, save me to the end! Give me thy sustaining grace, Take the everlasting praise.

8. Seeking for a Blessing. 1 Lord, we come before thee now At thy feet we humbly bow: O, do not our suit disdain! Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain? Lord, on thee our souls depend; In compassion now descend; Fill our hearts with thy rich grace. Tune our lips to sing thy praise. 2 In thine own appointed way

Now we seek thee, here we stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
'Till a blessing thou bestow.
Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

9. In Darkness.

1 Once I tho't my mountain strong, Firmly fixed, no more to move; Then my Saviour was my song,

Then my soul was fill'd with love; Those were happy, golden days, Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.

2 Little then myself I knew,

Little thought of Satan's pow'r;
Now I feel my sins renew;

Now I feel the stormy hour!
Si has put my joys to flight;
Sin has turned my day to night.

3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive;
Make my wounded spirit whole;
Far away the tempter drive;
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to thee.

10. Psalm xliii.

1 Save me, Lord, in this distress;
Clothe me in thy righteousness;
Good and merciful thou art;
Bind this bleeding, broken heart:
Cast me not despairing hence;
Be my hope, my confidence.

2 Send thy light and truth to guide;
Leave me not to turn aside;
On thy holy hill I'll rest,
In thy courts for ever blest:
There to God, my love, my joy,
Praise shall all my powers employ.
11. Adoption.

1 Blessed are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus' blood:
They are ransomed from the grave;
Life eternal they shall have.
With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

2 They are justifi'd by grace;
They enjoy the Saviour's peace;

All their sins are wash'd away:
They shall stand in God's great day.
With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

3 They produce the fruits of grace;
In the works of righteousness;
They are harmless, meek, and mild,
Holy, humble, undefil'd.

With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

4 They are lights upon the earth,
Children of a heav'nly birth;
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory in them is begun.
With them number'd may we bej
Here, and in eternity.

14. Submission.

1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head,
For such a worm as I?
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in, [died
When Christ the Lord, the Saviour,
For man, the rebel's sin.

2 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,

And melt my eyes to tears.
But tears, alas, can ne'er repay

The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

15. Going to Jesus.

[breast Come, trembling sinner, in whose A thousand thoughts revolve: Come, with your guilt and fear oppress'd,

And make this last resolve: "I'll go to Jesus, though my sin

Should boundless depths disclose; I see his courts, I'll enter in,

Whatever may oppose.

16. And yet there is Room.
Luke xiv. 22.

1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor, Behold a royal feast! [store Where mercy spreads her bounteous

2

1

-For every humble guest.

See, Jesus stands with open arms; He calls, he bids you come; Guilt holds you back, and fear a

But see,there yet is room. [larms; Room in the Saviour's bleeding There love and pity meet; [heart; Nor will be bid the soul depart,

That trembles at his feet. In him the Father, reconcil'd,

Invites your souls to come; The rebel shall be call'd a child, And kindly welcom'd home.

17. Crucifixion. Behold the Saviour of mankind,

Nail'd to the shameful tree! How vast the love that him inclin'd,

To bleed and die for me! [shakes, Hark! how he groans, while nature

And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend.

And there my guilt confess; I'll tell him I'm a wretch undoneWithout his sovereign grace. Perhaps he will admit my plea, Perhaps he'll hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there."

Receive my soul, he cries; [paid, See where he bows his sacred head,

He bows his head and dies. But soon o'er hell he reigns again

In majesty divine;

O Lamb of God, was ever pain,

Was ever love like thine!
