Hymns for Those that Seek and Those that Have Redemption, 5

To— l All ye that pass by."
COME, Lord, from above,
The mountains remove,
Overturn all that hinders the course of Thy love.
My bosom inspire,
Inkindle the fire,
And wrap my whole soul in the flames of desire.
I languish and pine
For the comfort Divine:
O when shall I say, my Beloved is mine!
I have chose the good part,
My portion Thou art,
O Love, I have found Thee, O God, in my heart.
For this my heart sighs,
Nothing else can suffice:
How, Lord, shall I purchase the pearl of great price?
It cannot be bought:
And Thou know'st I have nought,
Not an action, a word, or a truly good thought.
But I hear a voice say,
Without money ye may
Receive it, whoever have nothing to pay:
Who on Jesus relies,
Without money or price
The pearl of forgiveness and holiness buys.

The blessing is free:
So, Lord, let it be;
I yield that Thy love should be given to me.
I freely receive
What Thou freely dost give,
And consent in Thy love, in Thine Eden to live.

The gift I embrace,
The Giver I praise,
And ascribe my salvation to Jesus's grace.
It comes from above,
The foretaste I prove,
And I soon shall receive all Thy fulness of love.
