Weep & love my life away!
While I see him on the tree
Weep, & bleed, & die for me. _
Another of her favorite hymns with this:

which hymn she had learnt by heart, & frequently repeated with a peculiar emphasis.

drawn from Immanuel's vein;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoic'd to see
that fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Wash'd all my sins away.
# #
E're since, by faith, I saw the stream,
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love hath been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
# #

I'll sing thy pow'r to save;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave.
