And praise thee cvermore.

And then the load remove

And taste thy precious love.
The hardness, Lord, remove,
That presses round my heart;

Assurance that i still may live;
O bid my sins depart. @

In esu'ss precious blood;
Arm me with faith and glorious hope,
And draw my wandering spirit up

And when come to die,
O.! Jesus, be my Tower
Conduct me safe through deaths darl

Let Angels guard my spirit home
To praise thee exermore.
