Jude: Guapty I take Thy love's advice

Religion

Guapty I take Thy love's advice,
While without money, without price,
I come Thy grace to buy,
Faith as the golden bullion pure,
Which can the fiery test endure,
And all my wants supply.
RADI ee

I come to buy that richest dress,
The saints' unspotted holiness,
The covering from above;
To swallow up my sinful shame,
Whate'er I have, whate'er I am,
In purity of love.

All things that I may clearly see,
The Spirit which proceeds from Thee,
The unction I implore:
O might I now the blessing gain,
The sight of Thee my Lord obtain,
And never lose it more.
'4 Jesus, Thy promised Spirit impart,
To cure the blindness of my heart,
Mine unbelief to chase,
That I Thine open face may see,
And spend a blest eternity
In ecstasies of praise.
