BOOK I. 1 LORD, thou hast won, -at length I yield, My heart, by mighty grace compelTd, Surrenders all to thee ; Against thy terrors long I strove, - But who can stand against thy love ? Love conquers even me.

2 AU that a wretch could do I tried, Thy patience scorn d, thy power defied, And trampled on thy laws : Scarcely thy martyrs at the stake Could stand more steadfast for thy sake Than I in Satan s cause.

3 But since thou hast thy love reveal d, And shown my soul a pardon seal d, I can resist no more : Couldst thou for such a sinner bleed ? Canst thou for such a rebel plead ? I wonder and adore !

4 If thou hadst bid thy thunders roll, And lightnings flash, to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been ; But mercy has my heart subdued, A bleeding Saviour I have view d, And now I hate my sin.

5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone ; Come, take possession of thine own, For thou hast set me free : Released from Satan s hard command, See all my powers waiting stand To be employed by thee.

6 My will conformed to thine would move ; On thee, my hope, desire, and love, In fix d attention join ; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue-, Have Satan s servants been too lono-, But now they shall be thine. Rh
