_Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows; I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest till it finds rest in Thee._ _Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there! Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee._ _Oh, hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live; My vile affections crucify, Nor let one darling lust survive! In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee!_ _Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call: Speak to my inmost soul, and say, 'I am thy Lord, thy God, thy All!' To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To share Thy cross be all my choice._ CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE v FOREWORD ix I. GOD'S CALL 1 II. CONSECRATION COMPLETE 8 III. DIVINE FELLOWSHIP 15 IV.
