By A Collection of Hymns

      8s & 6s. Matthew v.1 - 12
      1 SAVIOUR, on me the want bestow,
      Which all that feel shall surely know
      Their sins on earth forgiven;
      Give me to prove the kingdom mine,
      And taste, in holiness divine,
      The happiness of heaven.

      2 Meeken my soul, thou heavenly Lamb,
      That I in the new earth may claim
      My hundred-fold reward;
      My rich inheritance possess,
      Co-heir with the great Prince of peace,
      Co-partner with my Lord.

      3 Me with that restless thirst inspire,
      That sacred, infinite desire,
      And feast my hungry heart;
      Less than thyself cannot suffice;
      My soul for all thy fulness cries,
      For all thou hast, and art.

      4 Mercy who show shall mercy find;
      Thy pitiful and tender mind
      Be, Lord, on me bestowed;
      So shall I still the blessing gain,
      And to eternal life retain
      The mercy of my God.

      5 Jesus, the crowning grace impart;
      Bless me with purity of heart,
      That, now beholding thee,
      I soon may view thy open face,
      On all thy glorious beauties gaze,
      And God for ever see!

      6 Not for my fault or folly's sake,
      The name, or mode, or form, I take,
      But for true holiness,
      Let me be wronged, reviled, abhorred
      And thee, my sanctifying Lord,
      In life and death; confess.

      7 Called to sustain the hallowed cross,
      And suffer for thy righteous cause,
      Pronounce me doubly blest;
      And let thy glorious Spirit, Lord,
      Assure me of my great reward,
      In heaven's eternal rest.
