Just and holy is thy name,

I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within:
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

AUGUSTUS M. TOPLADY.

[1740-1778.]

LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVE EXCELLING.

LOVE divine, all love excelling,

Joy of heaven to earth come down; Fix in us thy humble dwelling,

All thy faithful mercies crown; Jesus, thou art all compassion! Pure, unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O, breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast;

Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find the promised rest;
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never,

Never more thy temples leave: Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above; Pray and praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy precious love.

Finish then thy new creation,

Pure, unspotted may we be; Let us see thy great salvation Perfectly restored by thee: Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place! Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
