Page 257 "A new commandment I give unto you." John xiii. 34. O put it in our inward parts, Write thy new precept on our hearts In characters divine, Inspire us with thy Spirit's love; Stronger than death it then shall prove, A copy, Lord, of thine. "Let not your heart be troubled." John xiv. 1. Calmer of the troubled heart, Bid my unbelief depart, Speak, and all my sorrows cease, Speak, and all my soul is peace; Comfort me, whene'er I mourn, With the hope of thy return, And till I thy glory see, Bid me still believe in thee. "I will come again." John xiv. 3. Depending on their faithful Lord To come again, and fetch his bride, Millions have liv'd upon this word, And for this heavenly promise died. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." John xiv. 6. The way to God thou art; O might I walk in thee! The truth, thy light impart, And make thy servant free; The life of grace thyself reveal, And then my soul with glory fill. "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?" John xiv. 9. Me, me, thou justly mayst upbraid: Ev'n from my earliest infancy Thou hast with thy frail creature stay'd, Yet still, O Lord, I know not thee; Page 258 My Saviour unreveal'd thou art, Unfelt this moment in my heart. With me, I find, thou still dost dwell, For unconsum'd on earth I live, I am not with the fiends in hell, But wait thy Spirit to receive, Who makes thy heavenly Father known, And shews that God and thou art one. O wouldst thou now thy Spirit breathe, And bid my unbelief depart, The peace thou didst to me bequeath, The pardon speak into my heart, And let me now my Father see, The image of my God in thee.
