Art Thou not at leisure now

Verse 1
Art Thou not at leizure now
My sinsick soul to heal?
Jesus, at thy feet I bow,
Till I thy virtue feel:
God a time I dare not set,
Or teach thee when Thou must relieve:
Only see me at thy feet,
And as Thou wilt, forgive.

Verse 2
Still I for thy coming stay,
My spirit to restore;
Take this evil heart away
By love’s abiding power:
When thou wilt thyself reveal,
And make my full salvation sure
In mine inmost essence dwell
My soul’s eternal cure.

Verse 3
Now thro’ faith divinely strong
Who in thy strength confide,
Though thou seem to tarry long,
Thy leizure I abide;
Thee I still expect, to chear
Stablish, and fill my heart with grace,
Then, Almighty Finisher
I see thee face to face.
