Psalm 59:8: Inspired with life and vigour new
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Inspired with life and vigour new,
I toward my Centre move;
With all my vehement soul pursue
The hallowing God of love.
With infinite desire I pant
Thy fulness to receive;
And nothing less than Christ I want.
Than all Thou hast to give.
Forgetting still the things behind,
I reach to those before;
Impatient till the rest I find,
Where sin subsists no more.
I follow on to apprehend
Whom yet I cannot see;
And never shall my labours end,
Till I am lost in Thee.
