Hymns for the Use of Families, 32

Ah, what shall we do, Our pardon to gain,
And holiness true With Jesus obtain;
Our utmost endeavour Too weak to procure
His forfeited favour, Or make our hearts pure!

For mercy and grace We only can cry,
And wait in His ways, Till Jesus pass by,
To our supplication Humanely attend,
And brinar us salvation Which never shall end.

The cry of our heart Thou waitest to hear,
And ready Thou art Our Lord to appear,
To give us Thy Spirit; And then we are free,
And then we inherit All fulness in Thee.
