By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 GOD of eternal truth and grace,
      Thy faithful promise seal!
      Thy word, thy oath, to Abraham's race,
      In us, even us, fulfil.

      2 Let us, to perfect love restored,
      Thy image here retrieve,
      And in the presence of our Lord
      The life of angels live.

      3 That mighty faith on me bestow
      Which cannot ask in vain,
      Which holds, and will not let thee go,
      Till I my suit obtain;

      4 Till thou into my soul inspire
      The perfect love unknown,
      And tell my infinite desire,
      "Whate'er thou wilt, be done."

      5 But is it possible that I
      Should live and sin no more?
      Lord, if on thee I dare rely,
      The faith shall bring the power.

      6 On me that faith divine bestow
      Which doth the mountain move;
      And all my spotless life shall show
      The omnipotence of love.
