2  Blest  privilege !  but  all  in  vain

Our  new  and  heavenly  birth,
If  we  the  truth  of  God  profane.
And  cleave  to  things  of  earth.
3  Lord,  since  Thy  holy  name  we  bear,

Like  sons  we  would  obey,
Mark  Thy  commands  with  filial  fear.
And  keep  Thy  perfect  way.
4  So,  Lord,  the  inward  grace  impart.
And  bless  the  outward  sign.
That  love,  abiding  in  our  heart.
In  all  our  life  may  shine.  Edward  Od

GOD  of  all  power,  and  truth,  and  grace.
Which  shall  from  age  to  age  endure ;
Whose  word,  when  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass,
Remains  and  stands  forever  sure ;

2  That  I  Thy  mercy  may  proclaim.
That  all  mankind  Thy  truth  may  see ;
Hallow  Thy  great  and  glorious  name,
And  perfect  holiness  in  me.
3  Purge  me  from  every  sinful  blot,

My  idols  all  be  cast  aside.
Cleanse  me  from  every  sinful  thought.
From  all  the  filth  of  self  and  pride.
4  Give  me  a  new,  a  perfect  heart.
From  doubt,  and  fear,  and  sorrow  free  ;
The  mind  which  was  in  Christ  impart,
And  let  my  spirit  cleave  to  Thee.

O  more,  my  God  !  I  boast  no  more.
Of  all  the  duties  I  have  done  ;
I  quit  the  hopes  I  held  before,
To  trust  the  merits  of  Thy  Son.
