By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. Luke viii. 18.
      1 THOUGH God in Christ reveal
      Our sins through faith removed,
      We lose the talent we conceal,
      The blessing unimproved;
      Not labouring after more
      Abundant righteousness,
      Stripped of our former peace and power.
      We forfeit all our grace.

      2 Lord, if thy grace I have,
      I plead thy word for more:
      Whom thou hast saved, persist to save,
      And all thy life restore:
      If with a faithful heart
      I simply follow thee,
      Whate'er thou hast, whate'er thou art,
      Thou art, and hast for me.
