CONSECRATION.

By D. E. W.

BY D. E. W.
"Oh, for a faith that will not shrink," But take Thee at thy word, "That will not tremble on the brink," But trust in thee, O Lord!
Oh, for a heart entirely thine, A heart to know thy will, Attending on thy love divine, Nor lusts of flesh fulfill!
Oh, for a mind that knows no thought But Jesus crucified, A wisdom by thy Spirit taught, And motives purified!
Be thou, O Lord, my present friend, My help in time of need; From all my lurking foes defend, In paths of safety lead.
So shall my longing heart be still, And wait before the Lord, And seek to do his gracious will, And trust his faithful word.
