271 Ferguson. S.M.

(637) Restore My Peace.

O Jesus! full of grace,

To thee I make my moan:

Let me again behold thy face--

Call home thy banished one.

2 Again my pardon seal,

Again my soul restore,

And freely my backslidings heal,

And bid me sin no more.

3 Thine utmost mercy show;

Say to my drooping soul--

In peace and full assurance go;

Thy faith hath made thee whole.

Charles Wesley, 1756.

Dependence on Christ.

I cannot do without thee,

O Savior of the lost!

Whose precious blood redeemed me

At such tremendous cost.

CHO.--I cannot, would not,

Dare not, could not,

Will not do without thee.

I have no strength or goodness,

No wisdom of my own.

2 I cannot do without thee,

I cannot stand alone;

I have no strength or goodness,

No wisdom of my own.

3 I cannot do without thee,

I do not know the way;

Thou knowest and thou leadest,

And wilt not let me stray.

4 I cannot do without thee,

For years are fleeting fast,

And soon, in solemn loneliness,

The river must be passed.

Frances H. Havergal, Alt.
