3 Eternal life thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives: Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than the whole world around me gives. 4 Thy name my inmost powers adore; -Thou art my life, my joy, my care; Depart from thee! 'tis death: 'tis more: 'Tis endless ruin, deep despair! 5 Low at thy feet my soul would lie; 244. Crucified to the World. L.M. But GOD forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.—GAL. vi. 14. GROUND of my hope,theCross appears: And in his death my pardon read. 2 And could'st thou, O my SAVIOUR, die, To rescue me from endless woe? Enough! there's none more blest than J, Since thou could'st love a sinner so. 3 I leave the world its boasted store Of pleasures that must quickly end: I prize its vanities no more, Since I have found the sinner's friend. 4 I care not if the world revile, The world that hates my master's cause; 5 Then farewell, world, and farewell all 245. Crucified with Christ. 7s. I am crucified with CHRIST: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the SON of GOD, who loved me, and gave himself for me.GAL. ii. 20. JESUS, fix each wav'ring mind! 3. Dust and ashes tho' we be, He with joy beholds thy face, 246. Desiring Christ. L. M. But CHRIST is all.-COL. iii. 11. WHEN, gracious Lord, when shall it be 2 Thee, only thee, I fain would find, 3 Lord, I am sick-my sickness cure! 4 Lord, I am blind-be thou my sight: Lord, I am weak-be thou my might: Au helper of the helpless be, 247. Desiring Communion with God. C.M. O, that I knew where I might find him !---Job xxiii. 3 2 I'd tell him how my sins arisė, How grace decays, and comfort dies, 3 He knows what arguments I'd take 4 My GOD will pity my complaints, 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, He calls thee to his throne of grace 248. Desiring Conformity to Christ, 112th. I am crucified with CHRIST; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the SON of GOD, who loved me, and gave himself for me.-GAL. ii. 20. THOUhidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathom'd, no man knows, I see from far thy beauteous light; That strives with thee my heart to Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, 30 crucify this self, that I No more, but CHRIST in me may live! Nor let one hateful lust survive ; ; 4 Lord, draw my heart from earth away, And make it only know thy call Speak to my inmost soul, and say, "I am thy SAVIOUR GOD, thine all!" Oh dwell in me, fill all my soul, And all my pow'rs by thine controul. Z |
