HYMNS SELECTED 41 May we thy calmer comforts find, And hear thy still small voice.] 6
Not for the gift of tongues we pray, Nor power the sick to heal; Give wisdom to direct our way, And strength to do thy will.
7 We pray to be renewed within, And reconciled to God; To have our conscience washed from sin In the Redeemer’s blood. 8 We pray to have our faith increased, And O, celestial Dove! We pray to be completely blessed With that rich blessing, love.

“The kingdom of God is ... in power.” 1 Cor. 4. 20 1 A form of words, though e’er so sound, Can never save a soul; The Holy Ghost must give the wound, And make the wounded whole. 2 Though God’s election is a truth, Small comfort there I see, Till I am told by God’s own mouth, That he has chosen me. 3
[Sinners, I read, are justified, By faith in Jesus’ blood; But when to me that blood’s applied, ’Tis then it does me good.]
