THE INVOCATION.

BREATHE on my Wreath, blest Spirit, let the

fire

Warm from Thy burning altar, now inspire
A feeble worm, Thine unction pour on me,
Tuning my heart's full melody to Thee.
Teach me to celebrate a Saviour's praise,
And sing His glories in these humble lays.
Jesus, I feel Thy love, I know Thy grace
Has cleansed my soul, and checked my sinful

race.

I cannot doubt, blest Lord, that I am Thine, Humbly believing, I can call Thee mine.
