Suffer me no more to grieve Wanting what thou long'st to give, Shew me all thy goodness, Lord, Beaming from th' incarnate Word, Christ, in whom thy glories shine, Efflux of the light divine. Since the Son hath made me free, Let me taste my liberty, Thee behold with open face, Triumph in thy saving grace, Thy great will delight to prove, Glory in thy perfect love. Since the Son hath bought my peace, Mine thou art, as I am his:83 Mine the Comforter I see, Christ is full of grace for me: Mine (the purchase of his blood) All the plenitude of God. Abba, Father! Hear thy child Late in Jesus reconcil'd! Hear, and all the graces shower, All the joy, and peace, and pow'r, All my Saviour asks above, All the life and heaven of love.84 83Changed to "Mine I see, whate'er is his" in 4th edn. (1743) and 5th edn. (1756). 84Changed to "All the life of heaven, of love" in 4th edn. (1743) and 5th edn. (1756). Page 221 Lord, I will not let thee go, Till THE BLESSING thou bestow: Hear my advocate divine; Lo! To his my suit I join: Join'd to his it cannot fail Bless me, for I will prevail! Stoop from thy eternal throne, See, thy promise calls thee down! High and lofty as thou art, Dwell within my worthless heart! Here85 a fainting soul revive; Here for ever walk and live. Heavenly Adam, life divine, Change my nature into thine: Move and spread throughout my soul, Actuate and fill the whole: Be it I no longer now, Living in the flesh, but thou. Holy Ghost, no more delay, Come, and in thy temple stay; Now thy inward witness bear Strong and permanent, and clear; Spring of life, thyself impart, Rise eternal in my heart! 85Ori., "Hear"; a misprint, corrected in the 2nd edn. (1739), but reappears in the 3rd edn. (1739). Change line to "My poor fainting soul revive" in 4th edn. (1743) and 5th edn. (1756). Page 222 Isa. li. 9, c.86 Arm of the Lord awake, awake! Thy87 own immortal strength put on. With terror cloath'd the nations shake, And cast thy foes, in fury, down. As in the antient days appear! The sacred annals speak thy fame: Be now omnipotently near, Thro' endless ages still the same.
