Psalm 106: With all Thy purchased people bless
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
With all Thy purchased people bless,
And Thee, in life and death, confess.
Come with Thy salvation, Lord,
Into my dying soul;
Then I live, to health restored
And perfectly made whole.
Conscious of my nothingness
I Thy gracious fulness prove,
Thee my only good possess.
My pure, eternal Love.
Thy mercy. Lord, is better
Than life and all below;
Visit Thy fallen creature,
That I Thy love may know.
The Father's habitation.
Thy Spirit's constant home,
O come with Thy salvation,
With all the Godhead come.
Salvation I desire
Because it comes with Thee,
Who dost Thine own inspire
With perfect purity.
Now, Lord, Thy temple enter,
Not as a transient guest;
But in my spirit's centre,
Eternal Saviour, rest.
Come O Thou uncreated AVord,
And make Thy saving virtue known;
Thou canst not come without it. Lord,
Salvation and Thyself are one.
Essential happiness Thou art,
Sin to destroy in me appear;
Come with Thy blood and wash my heart,
And reign, my God, for ever here.
