Ah show me, Lord, my depth of sin! Ah, Lord, thy depth of mercy show! End, Jesus, end this war within: No rest my spirit e'er shall know, Till thou thy quickning influence give: Breathe, Lord, and these dry bones shall live. There, there before the throne thou art, The Lamb ere10 earth's foundations slain! Take thou, O take this guilty heart; Thy blood will wash out every stain: No cross, no sufferings I decline; Only let all my heart be thine! The Same Looking unto Jesus. God of love, incline thine ear! Christ my King, Haste and bring Thy salvation near. 9Ori. "will"; corrected in 4th edn. (1743) and following. 10Ori., 'e'er'; but clearly used in sense of 'before'. Page 23 Thee my restless soul requires; Restless till Thou fulfill All its large desires. Only thou to me be given; Thou be mine, I resign All in earth and heaven. Jesus, come, my sickness cure; Shew thine art, Cleanse a heart Full of thoughts impure. Painfully it now aspires To be free, Full of thee, Full of hallow'd fires. Lo, I tread on deaths and snares, Sinking still Into ill, Plung'd in griefs and cares. When, O when wilt thou appear? O draw nigh! Say, "'Tis I;" And I will not fear. Page 24 Hasten, hasten the glad hour, Come and be Unto me Health, and love, and power. Christ, my life, my inward heaven, Thro' the whole Of my soul Spread thy little leaven. Make me to the end endure; Let me feel Love the seal: Love shall make it sure. Love, thine image love restore: Let me love, Hence remove, And be seen no more. Morning Hymn. Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o'er the shades of night: Day-Spring from on high, be near: Day-Star, in my heart appear. Page 25 Dark and chearless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee, Joyless is the day's return, Till thy mercy's beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin, and grief, Fill me, radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief, More and more thyself display Shining to the perfect day. Another Morning Hymn.11
