1 Thessalonians 5:16: Rejoice evermore

Rejoice evermore
In the truth, and the power,
And the grace of our. heavenly Friend,
Till to us who believe ©
He His glory doth give,
And a kingdom that never shall end.

Pray without ceasing.—v. V7.
FATHER, into my heart convey
The power incessantly to pray,
Or Thy command is void:
But when the Power inhabits there,
My heart shall be an house of prayer,
Emptied, and fill'd with God.
In every thing give thanks.—y. 18.

EVERY moment we live
We a blessing receive,
And with thankful alacrity own:
We shall praise Him in death,
And resigning our breath,
Give Him thanks for a share of His throne.

Thais is the will of God in Christ Jesus, &c.—vy. 18.
t Is it Thy will concerning me?
Then let Thy will take place,
And help my soul's infirmity,
Omnipotent in grace.

Jesus, Thou art the Lord Most-High,
The praying Spirit Thou art,
Enter, and Abba Father, cry
Incessant in my heart.

Essence of happiness, appear,
Into my bosom given;
Come and set up Thy kingdom here,
Thou Joy of earth and heaven.
Inviolable peace I have,
When Jesus I possess,
And when Thou dost persist to save,
I dwell in perfect, peace.

Jesus, reveal Thy love to me,
And on Thy breast reclined
Matter of thankfulness in Thee
I every moment find:
Whate'er occurs, Thy hand alone,
Dividing all my ways,
And good brought out of ill I own
With wonder, love, and praise.

If Thou my constant Saviour art,
And Thee I always know,
The prayerful, joyful, thankful heart,
Thou always dost bestow.

I then my true Perfection boast,
Resorb'd into the sea,
As mix'd and swallow'd up and lost
In Thy immensity.
