Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,

m 1 WHAT grace, O Lord, and beauty shone mp 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,
Around thy steps below!
What patient love was seen in all
Thy life and death of woe!

m

Thy heart could only love.

mf 4 O give us hearts to love like thee,
Like thee, O Lord, to grieve

Far more for others' sins than all
The wrongs that we receive.

mf 5 One with thyself, may every eye

In us,

thy brethren, see

That gentleness and grace that spring
From union, Lord, with thee.

Hymn 89

Richard Farrant, 1585.

mp10 THOU from whom all goodness flows, p 4 Distressed with pain, disease, and grief,

I lift my heart to thee;

In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Dear Lord, remember me.

This feeble body see;

np Grant patience, rest, and kind relief; Hear, and remember me.

p 2 When, groaning, on my burdened heart m 5 If on my face, for thy dear name,

My sins lie heavily,

Shame and reproaches be,

mp My pardon speak, new peace impart; mf All hail, reproach! and welcome, shame! In love remember me.

p 3 Temptations sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee;

mp

If thou remember me.

pp 6 The hour is near; consigned to death, I own the just decree;

O give me strength, Lord, as my day; p Saviour, with my last, parting breath, For good remember me.

I'll cry, 'Remember me!'

2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?

mp 4 Return, O Holy Dove! return,
Sweet messenger of rest;

m

mp

I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

m 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! mf 6 So shall my walk be close with God,

How sweet their memory still!

p

But they have left an aching void

The world can never fill.

Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road

That leads me to the Lamb.
