Haggai 2:19: Author of faith, the grace impart

Author of faith, the grace impart,
The sure foundation lay.
By sprinkling with Thy blood my heart.
And bless me from this day
Bless me with faith, and faith's increase,
With hope and purest love,
With true, consummate holiness,
And with a throne above.

To bless me, Lord, this day begin
To turn my heart against its sin
By penitential grace:
My heart with godly grief inspire.
With sacred fear, and strong desire
To see Thy smiling face.

The evangelic blessing give
When humbled at Thy feet I grieve
Beneath my guilty load;
The knowledge of Thyself reveal'd,
My pardon and salvation seal'd
By Thy atoning blood.
Haggai ii. 7 — ZecJiariaJi z. 3. Ill

When Thee in part I truly know,
Bid me in peace and safety go,
With every blessing bless'd;
With love and holiness complete,
My Saviour in the clouds to meet
My soul's eternal rest.

When raised out of the dust I stand
Placed with the sheep at Thy right hand
The final blessing give.
The palm, the glory, and the crown,
And bid me at Thy side sit down
In all Thy joy to live.
