Now let our monarch see Thy brighter majesty, Now the royal promise seal, True and gracious as thou art, Jesus, Sun of heaven, reveal All thy glories in his heart. Give him in thee to view Th' eternal God and true; Page 271 Thou, the Lord, the Lord most high, Thou the only God supreme, Fulness of the deity, Reign, forever reign in him! "He brought down my strength." Psalm cii. 23. Thou who hast brought my body down, Bring down the strength of sin, And fill my soul with power unknown, Thy kingdom fixt within: To save from twice ten thousand snares Mine utmost Saviour come, And then bring down my hoary hairs With triumph to the tomb. "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases." Psalm ciii. 3. Saviour, I long to testify The fulness of thy gracious power; O might thy Spirit the blood apply, Which bought for me the peace; and more! Forgive, and make my nature whole, My sinful maladies remove, To perfect health restore my soul, To perfect holiness and love. "He hath not dealt with us after our sins." Psalm ciii. 10. No; for I am not yet in hell, Worthy the sorest torments there! Thy mercy, not thy wrath, I feel, And breathe on earth an humble prayer: Since thou hast suffer'd me so long, O let me all thy patience prove, 'Till sav'd I sing the gospel song, And bless thee for thy richest love.
