And all thy mind brought in. 5 Wherefore, in never-ceasing prayer, My soul to thy continual care I faithfully commend ! Assured that thou through life shalt save, And show thyself beyond the grave My everlasting Friend. HYMN 283. 6-8's. 1 / GOD, my hope, my heavenly rest, S My all of happiness below, Grant my importunate request, To me, to me, thy goodness show : Thy beatific face display, The brightness of eternal day. 27 c For Believers Fighting. 2 Before my faith's enlighten'd eyes Make all thy gracious goodness pass ; Thy goodness is the sight I prize : O may I see thy smiling face ! Thy nature in my soul proclaim, Reveal thy love, thy glorious name ! 3 There in the place beside thy throne, Where all that find acceptance stand, Receive me up into thy Son ; Cover me with thy mighty hand ; Set me upon the Rock, and hide My soul in Jesu's wounded side. 4 O put me in the cleft ; empower My soul the glorious sight to bear ! Descend in this accepted hour ; Pass by me, and thy name declare ; Thy wrath withdraw, thy hand remove, And show thyself the God of Love. HYMN 284. 6-8's. HPO thee, great God of Love! I bow, A And prostrate in thy sight adore : By faith I see thee passing now ; I have, but still I ask for more ; A glimpse of love cannot suffice : My soul for all thy presence cries. The fulness of my vast reward A blest eternity shall be : But hast thou not on earth prepared Some better thing than this for me? What, but one drop ! one transient sight ! I want a sun, a sea of light. For Believers Fighting. 2/3 Moses thy backward parts might view, But not a perfect sight obtain ; The Gospel doth thy fulness show To us, by the commandment slain : The dead to sin shall find the grace ; The pure in heart shall see thy face. More favour'd than the saints of old, Who now by faith approach to thee, Shall all with open face behold In Christ the glorious Deity ; Shall see and put the Godhead on, The nature of thy sinless Son ' This, this is our high calling's prize !
