HYMN VI.
I. LORD give me a believing heart, Advance it more and more; Rebuke those doubts and scruples that Are crowding at my door. Lord let thy Word and Spirit guide Thy Servant in thy way; May I walk closely with my God, And run no more astray.
III. All they that sit down with thee must Be decked with thy Grace; Thou smilest on such Communicants, And they behold thy face. Come holy Spirit, come and take My filthy Garments hence, ⟨p. 159⟩The guilt, the stain, the love of sin, Will give my Lord offence.

III. Let nothing that is not divine, Within thy presence move, What e'er would cause thee not to shine In tokens of thy Love. Awake Repentance, Faith and Love, Awake O every Grace! Come, come, attend this glorious King, And how before his face.
