Dissolved by thy goodness, I fall to the ground, And weep to the praise of the mercy I've found. 3 The door of thy mercy stands open all day, To the poor and the needy, who knock by the way; No sinner shall ever a place be denied, Who comes seeking mercy through Jesus that died. 4 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell: "T was Jesus, my friend, when he hung on the tree, I cannot live, if thou remove, They sit around thy gracious throne, 3 Not all the harps above Can make a heavenly place, 4 Nor earth, nor all the sky, 5 Thou art the sea of love, Where all my pleasures roll, ITO thee, my God! my heart shall bring Attending kings shall hear me sing, A faithful God thy words proclaim, 3 When, in the day of deep distress, With strength divine, thy powerful grace 4 Thou, Lord! wilt all my hopes fulfil, Let endless mercy guide me still, 24. C. M. 1 DEAR Father! to thy mercy-seat Thy grace can raise my comforts high, 3 My great Protector, and my Lord! Oh! let thy kind, thy gracious word 4 Oh! never let my soul remove Still let me trust thy power and love, 25. C. M. Prayer for quickening Grace. 1 PERMIT me, Lord! to seek thy face, To seek the presence of thy grace, 2 All I can wish is thine to give: 3 To heaven my restless heart aspires; To wake and warm my faint desires, 4 The path to thy divine abode A thousand snares beset the road,-- 5 Satan and sin unite their art 6 My Guardian, my almighty Friend! On thee alone my hopes depend; 26. and I am blest. H. M. 1 TO thee, great Source of light! To celebrate thy praise; 2 And when this feeble tongue Lies silent in the dust, Then, with the shining hosts above, 27. C. M. God's Presence is Light in Darkness. 1 MY God! the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights; The glory of my brightest days, 2 In darkest shades, if he appear, He is my soul's sweet morning-star, 3 The opening heavens around me saine, While Jesus shows his heart is mine, 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay, 5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, 28. S. M. God, my Creator and Benefactor. 1 MY Maker and my King! Thy sovereign bounty is the spring 2 The creature of thy hand,- My God! thy benefits demand 3 Shall I withhold thy due? And shall my passions rove? 4 Oh! let thy grace inspire My soul with strength divine; 29. C. M. Thanks for Providence and Grace. 1 ALMIGHTY Father, gracious Lord, Thy mercies let my heart record 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thine indulgent care; Long ere I could pronounce thy name, 3 Yet I adore thee, gracious Lord! That I have known thy sacred word, 4 When blest with that transporting view, For this sweet hope, what praise is due, 5 Now shall my joyful powers unite, Till I shall join the sons of light, 30. L. M. Imploring divine Influence. 1 MY God! whene'er my longing heart 2 Thy name inspires the harps above, 31. C. M. Thanks for providential Favors. 1 WHEN all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost 2 Unnumbered comforts, on my soul, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, Ten thousand thousand precious gifts |
