Hymns for Children, 15

Maker, Saviour of mankind,
Who hast on me bestow'd
An immortal soul, design'd
To be the house of God:
Come, and now reside in me,
Never, never to remove;
Make me just, and good, like Thee,
And full of power and love.

Bid me in Thine image rise
A saint, a creature new,
True, and merciful, and wise,
And pure, and happy too:
This Thy primitive design,
That I should in Thee be bless'd;
Should within the arms Divine
For ever, ever rest.
Let Thy will on me be done;
Fulfil my heart's desire,
Thee to know, and love alone,
And rise in rapture higher;
Thee, descending on a cloud.
When -ivith ravish'd eyes I see,
Then I shall be fill'd with God
To all eternity!
