10. O God, with thee no word is impossible: thou dost whatsoever pleaseth thee! O that thou wouldest cause the mantle of thy prophet, whom thou hast taken up, now to fall upon us that remain! Where is the Lord God of Elijah? Let his spirit rest upon these thy servants! Shew thou art the God that answerest by fire ! Let the fire of thy love fall on every heart! And because we love thee, let us love one another with a love strongerthan death. Take away froin us all anger, and wrath, and bitterness : all clamour and evil-speaking. Let thy Spirit sa rest upon us, that from this hour, we may be kind 19 each other, tender-hearted: forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven us ! AN HYMN. The battle's fought, the race is won, And thou art crown'd at last; Triumphantly possest, In thy Redeemer's breast. Thy ceaseless prayer He heard, To thy complete reward; Thy beauteous feet were shod, And caught thee up to God. Thou dost thy Lord proclaim, Salvation to the Lamb. In extacies of praise, Thou seest thy Saviour's face. Redeemd from earth and pain, With our translated Friend! And when in Thee complete, To triumph at thy feet! 12: |
