Take my body, spirit, soul; Only thou possess the whole! 2 Thou my one thing needful be; Let me give thee all my heart. 3 Fairer than the sons of men, Do not let me turn again; Stoop to creature happiness!- Qoly thee I'd wish to know; Thou art all in all to me. 5 All my treasure is above, All my riches is thy love. 34. All in all. 113th. In the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock.-PSALM xxvii. 5. WHY should I fear the darkest hour, Or tremble at the tempest's pow'r? Jesus vouchsafes to be my tow'r. 2 Though hot the fight, why quit the field, Why must I either flee or yield, 3 When creature-comforts fade and die, Worldlings may weep, but why should I? Jesus still lives, and still is nigh. 4 Though all the locks and berds were dead, My soul a fainine need not dread, For Jesus is my living bread, 5 I know not what may soon betide, Or how my wants shall be supplied ; But Jesus knows, and will provide. 6 Though sin would fill me with distress, The throne of grace 1 dare address, For Jesus is my righteousness. 7 Though faint my pray’rs, and cold my love, My steadfast hope shall not remove, While Jesus intercedes above. 8 Against me earth and hell combine ; But on my side is pow'r divine ; 35. All in all. P. M. Looking unto Jesus.-HEBREWS xii. 2. LAMB of GOD, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross : All things else we count but loss. 2 Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that's good : Comes to us through Jesu's blood. [3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; “'Son, thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith he gives us, to believe it ; Grateful hearts, his love to prize ; Want we wisdom ? He must give it, Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections ; Wills to do what he requires ; And what he commands, inspires.] 6 All our prayers and all our praises Humbly offer'd in his name- He that answers, is the same. 7 When we live on Jesu's merit, Then we worship God aright; Then we savingly unite. Great or good whate'er we call, Jesus Chrisr is" all in all." 36. Desire of Nations. C.M. The Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts.-Hag. ii. 7. COME, thon Desire of Nations, come, And aid our feeble tongues; In our unworthy songs. Thy mercy, pow'r, and love; And drawn by grace from sense and sin To thee our spirits move. In thee our wishes meet; Afford a name so sweet. And after wealth aspire; Our choice is made, our hearts are fix'd, For Christ is our desire. 5 Pity the nations, gracious Lord, Where thou art yet unknown; Be their desire as well as ours, And make the world thine own, 37. Foundation. C. M. Behold, I lay in Sion a chief comer-stone, elect, precious : and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1 PET. ii. 6. BEHOLD the sure Foundation-stone, Which Gop in Zion lays, And his eternal praise. And saints adore the name; Nor shall they suffer shame. 33 Though foolish builders may despise This stone with blind disdain; And foes shall rage in vain. 4 What tho' the gates of hell withstood, Yet must this building rise; And wond'rous in our eyes. 38. Foundation. P.M. Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.-I COR. üi. 11. HAD I ten thousand gifts beside, And build on him alone; |
