DOUGLAS CAMP MEETING.
The seed of sin's disease, Spirit of health, removeSpirit of finish'd holiness, Spirit of perfect love. Hasten the joyful day Which shall my sins consume, When old things shall be done away And all things new become. I want the witness, Lord, That all I do is right, According to Thy will and Word, Well pleasing in Thy sight. I ask higher state; Indulge me but in this, Arid soon or later, then translate To Thy eternal bliss.
And again they sing, Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as the beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.
They also cry out for the perfect love of God as expressed by the poet : The thing my God doth hate, That I no more may do; Thy creature, Lord, again create, And all my soul renew: My soul shall then, like Thine, Abhor the thing unclean, And, sanctified by love divine, Forever cease from sin.
