To thee our death resign.

A. glimpse of Christ is joyful.
1 | ESUS, what shall I do to show
J How much I love thy charming name?
Let my whole heart with rapture glow,
Thy boundless goodness to proclaim.

What must the joy, the triumph be,
To dwell forever in thy sight ?

Rejoicing in the mercies of God.
1 CAIN would my soul with wonder trace
i Thy mercies, O my God,
And tell the riches of thy grace,
The merits of thy blood.
2 With Israel’s King my heart would cry,
While I review thy ways,
Tell me, my Saviour, who am I,
That I should see thy face ?
3 Formed by thy hand, and formed for thee,
I would be ever thine ;
My Saviour, make my spirit free,
With beams of mercy shine.
4 Fain would my soul with rapture dwell
On thy redeeming grace.
