579 HYMNS. [
2 Ah, Lord ! with such a heart as mine.
Unless thou hold me fast,
I feel I must, I shall decline.
And prove like them at last.
3 Yet thou alone hast pow’r, 1 know,
To save a wretch like me;
To whom, or whither could I go,
If I should turn from thee ?
4 Beyond a doubt I rest assur’d,
Thou art the Christ of God,
Who hast eternal life secur’d
By promise and by blood.
5 The help of men and angels join’d
Could never reach my case;
Nor can I hope relief to find.
But in thy boundless grace.
6 No voice but thine can give me rest.
And bid my fears depart;
No love but thine pan make me bless’d.
And satisfy my heart.
7 What anguish has that question stirr’d.
If I will also go ?
Yet, Lord, relying on thy word,
I humbly answer. No.

Life and Safety in Christ alone. John vi. 67—£
1 rjvHOU only sov’reign of my heart,
J- My renige, my almighty friend—
And can my soul from thee depart.
On whom alone my hopes depend ?
2 Whither, ah! whither shall I go,
A wretched wand’rer from my Lord?
Can this dark world of sin and woe
One glimpse of happiness afford ?
