LXXXVI. After a Recovery

1 Son of God, if thy free Grace
Again hath rais'd me up,
Call'd me still to seek thy Face,
And giv'n me back my Hope;
Still thy timely Help afford,
And all thy Loving-kindness shew:
Keep me, keep me gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

2 By me, O my Saviour stand,
In sore Temptation's Hour,
Save me with thine out-stretch'd hand,
And shew forth all thy Power:
O be mindful of thy word,
Thine all-sufficient Grace bestow:
Keep me, keep me gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

3 Give me, Lord, an holy Fear,
And fix it in my Heart,
That I may from Evil near
With speedy care depart:
Sin be more than Hell obhor'd,
Till thou destroy the tyrant Foe:
Keep me, keep me gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

4 Never let me leave thy Breast,
From Thee my Saviour stray;
Thou art my support and rest,
My true and living Way,
My exceeding great Reward,
In Heav'n above and Earth below:
Keep me, keep me gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

5 Never let me go, till I,
Upborne on Wings of Love,
Gain the Regions of the Sky,
And take my Seat above:
See Thee b all Heav'n ador'd,
And all thy glorious Fulness know:
Keep me, keep me gracious Lord,
And never let me go.
