By A Collection of Hymns

      2-6s & 4-7s.
      1 O FILIAL Deity,
      Accept my new-born cry!
      See the travail of thy soul,
      Saviour, and be satisfied;
      Take me now, possess me whole,
      Who for me, for me, hast died!

      2 Of life thou art the tree,
      My immortality!
      Feed this tender branch of thine,
      Ceaseless influence derive;
      Thou the true, the heavenly Vine;
      Grafted into thee I live.

      3 Of life the fountain thou,
      I know - I feel it now!
      Faint and dead no more I droop;
      Thou art in me; thy supplies,
      Every moment springing up,
      Into life eternal rise.

      4 Thou the good Shepherd art,
      From thee I ne'er shall part;
      Thou my keeper and my guide,
      Make me still thy tender care;
      Gently lead me by thy side,
      Sweetly in thy bosom bear.

      5 Thou art my daily Bread;
      O Christ, thou art my Head!
      Motion, virtue, strength, to me,
      Me thy living member, flow;
      Nourished I, and fed by thee,
      Up to thee in all things grow.

      6 Prophet, to me reveal
      Thy Father's perfect will;
      Never mortal spake like thee,
      Human prophet like divine;
      Loud and strong their voices be,
      Small, and still, and inward thine.

      7 On thee, my Priest, I call,
      Thy blood atoned for all;
      Still the Lamb as slain appears,
      Still thou stand'st before the throne,
      Ever offering up my prayers,
      These presenting with thine own.

      8 Jesu, thou art my King,
      From thee my strength I bring;
      Shadowed by thy mighty hand,
      Saviour, who shall pluck me thence?
      Faith supports; by faith I stand,
      Strong in thy omnipotence.
