The Lord Help Me To

As The Most Extravagant Errors Were Received Among The Established Articles Of Their Faith, So The Most Infamous Vices Obtained In Their Practice, And Were Indulged Not Only With Impunity, But Authorized By The Sanction Of Their Laws.

In Prayer I Was Exceedingly Enlarged, And My Soul Was As Much Drawn Out As I Ever Remember It To Have Been In My Life. I Was In Such Anguish, And Pleaded With So Much Earnestness And Importunity, That When I Rose From My Knees I Felt Extremely Weak And Overcome; I Could Scarce Walk Straight; My Joints Were Loosed; The Sweat Ran Down My Face And Body; And Nature Seemed As If It Would Dissolve.

O My Blessed God! Let Me Climb Up Near To Him, And Love, And Long, And Plead, And Wrestle, And Strech After Him, And For Deliverence From The Body Of Sin And Death. Alas! My Soul Mourned To Think I Should Ever Lose Sight Of Its Beloved Again. O Come, Lord Jesus, Amen.

Whatever Else You Fail Of, Do Not Fail Of The Influence Of The Holy Spirit; That Is The Only Way You Can Handle The Consciences Of Men.

Oh! It Is Sweet To Be Thus Weaned From Friends, And From Myself, And Dead To The Present World, That So I May Live Wholly To And Upon The Blessed God!
