JESUS, from whom all blessings flow,

By A Collection of Hymns


      L.M. SECOND PART.
      1 JESUS, from whom all blessings flow,
      Great builder of thy church below,
      If now thy Spirit moves my breast,
      Hear, and fulfil thine own request!

      2 The few that truly call thee Lord,
      And wait thy sanctifying word,
      And thee their utmost Saviour own,
      Unite, and perfect them in one.

      3 O let them all thy mind express,
      Stand forth thy chosen witnesses,
      Thy power unto salvation show,
      And perfect holiness below!

      4 In them let all mankind behold
      How Christians lived in days of old,
      Mighty their envious foes to move,
      A proverb of reproach - and love.

      5 From every sinful wrinkle free,
      Redeemed from all iniquity,
      The fellowship of saints make known;
      And, O my God, might I be one!

      6 O might my lot be cast with these,
      The least of Jesu's witnesses!
      O that my Lord would count me meet
      To wash his dear disciples' feet!

      7 This only thing do I require:
      Thou knowest 'tis all my heart's desire
      Freely what I receive to give,
      The servant of thy church to live;

      8 After my lowly Lord to go,
      And wait upon thy saints below;
      Enjoy the grace to angels given,
      And serve the royal heirs of heaven.

      9 Lord, if I now thy drawings feel,
      And ask according to thy will,
      Confirm the prayer, the seal impart,
      And speak the answer to my heart.
