Hymn 18.
WIth all the Powers my poor Soul hath, Of humble Love, and loyal Faith, Thus low, my God, I bow to thee, Whom too much Love bow'd low'r for me.
Down busie Sense, Discourses die, And all adore Faith's Mystery. Faith is my Skill, Faith can believe, As fast as Love▪ new Laws can give.
Faith is my Eye, Faith strength affords, To keep pace with those gracious words; And words more sweet, more sure than they Love could not think, Truth could not say.
O dear memorial of that Death, Which still survives, and gives us Breath! Live ever, Bread of Life, and be My Food, my Joy, my All to me.

Page 216

Come, glorious Lord, my hopes encrease, And fill my Portion in thy Peace. Come hidden Life, and that long Day, For which I languish, come away.
Where this dry Soul, those Eyes shall see, And drink the unseal'd source of Thee. When Glory's Sun, Faith's Shade shall chace, And for thy Veil give me thy Face.
