5 "His own soft hand shall wipe the tears "From every weeping eye, "And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, "And death itself shall die." 6 How long, dear Saviour, O how long, Shall this bright hour delay! Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, And bring the welcome day. Hymn 1:22. [Supplement.] Flesh and Spirit. Rom. 8. 1. 1 What vain desires, and passions vain, Attend this mortal clay! Oft have they pierc'd my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. 2 How have I wander'd from my God, And following sin and shame In this vile world of flesh and blood Defil'd my nobler frame! 3 For ever blessed be thy grace That form'd my soul anew, And made it of an heaven-born race, Thy glory to pursue. |
