By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Matthew vi. 10
      1 JESU, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
      In whom I now believe,
      As taught by thee, in faith I pray,
      Expecting to receive.

      2 Thy will by me on earth be done,
      As by the choirs above,
      Who always see thee on thy throne,
      And glory in thy love.

      3 I ask in confidence the grace,
      That I may do thy will,
      As angels, who behold thy face,
      And all thy words fulfil.

      4 Surely I shall, the sinner I
      Shall serve thee without fear;
      My heart no longer gives the lie
      To my deceitful prayer.

      5 When thou the work of faith hast wrought,
      I shall be pure within,
      Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought;
      For angels never sin.

      6 From thee no more shall I depart,
      No more unfaithful prove,
      But love thee with a constant heart;
      For angels always love.

      7 I all thy holy will shall prove:
      I, a weak, sinful worm,
      When thee with all my heart I love,
      Shall all thy law perform.

      8 The graces of my second birth
      To me shall all be given;
      And I shall do thy will on earth,
      As angels do in heaven.
