The Christian's Duty ‎#S.IX

S.IX. In boundless Mercy, gracious Lord, appear

1 In boundless Mercy, gracious Lord, appear,
Darkness dispel, the humble Mourner cheer;
Vain Thoughts remove, melt down this flinty Heart;
Cause ev'ry soul to choose the better Part.

2 Thy presence fills the universal Space;
Thy Grace appears to all the fallen Race;
O visit us with Light and Life divine,
Fill ev'ry Soul, for ev'ry Soul is thine.

3 Thy blessed Jesus is my Lord, my Love;
He is my King from him I would not move,
Away then all ye Objects that divert,
Nor seek to draw from my dear Lord my Heart.

4 That uncreated Beauty which hath gain'd
My ravish'd Heart, hath all your Glory stain'd;
His Loveliness my soul hath prepossess'd
And left no room for any other Guest.
