By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 O THAT I could my Lord receive,
      Who did the world redeem,
      Who gave his life, that I might live
      A life concealed in him!

      2 O that I could the blessing prove,
      My heart's extreme desire,
      Live happy in my Saviour's love,
      And in his arms expire!

      3 Mercy I ask to seal my peace,
      That, kept by mercy's power,
      I may from every evil cease,
      And never grieve thee more

      4 Now if thy gracious will it be,
      Even now, my sins remove,
      And set my soul at liberty
      By thy victorious love.

      5 In answer to ten thousand prayers,
      Thou pardoning God, descend;
      Number me with salvation's heirs,
      My sins and troubles end.

      6 Nothing I ask or want beside,
      Of all in earth or heaven,
      But let me feel thy blood applied,
      And live and die forgiven.
