Page 267 My perfect holiness thou art, My full felicity: Enter, and fill my hungry heart Which wants no heaven but thee. "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever." Psalm lxxiii. 26. Let this feeble body droop, And fail this fainting heart, Thou, O God, my strength, my hope, My heavenly portion art: Age may break, or sickness seize, Or pain, or mortal agony; Dying, dead, I still possess Eternal life in thee. "The help that is done upon earth he doth it himself." Psalm lxxiv. 13. O Lord from heaven, on earth bestow'd, Thy goodness makes our blessings sure: Thy strength sustains us in the food, Thy grace doth in the medicine cure, Whate'er the means or channels be, Our help is all deriv'd from thee. "Shew the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole." Psalm lxxx. 3. Jesus, full of truth and grace, Shew my heart thy heavenly face, Shine the true eternal light, Put my darkness all to flight; Then my sin shall disappear, Heal'd of all my evils here, Then I as my Lord shall shine Blended with the light divine.
