Within me thy good Spirit place, Spirit of health, and love, and power: Plant in me thy victorious grace, And sin shall never enter more. Cause me to walk in Christ my way, And I thy statutes shall fulfil; In every point thy law obey, And perfectly perform thy will. Hast thou not said, who canst not lie, That I thy law shall keep and do? Lord, I believe, tho’ men deny: They all are false; but thou art true. O that I now, from sin releas’d, Thy word might to the utmost prove! Enter into the promis’d rest, The Canaan of thy perfect love! There let me ever, ever dwell; Be thou my God, and I will be Thy servant: O set to thy seal; Give me eternal life in thee. From all remaining filth within Let me in thee salvation have: From actual, and from inbred sin, My ransom’d soul persist to save. Wash out my old orig’nal stain: Tell me no more, it cannot be, Demons or men! The Lamb was slain, His blood was all pour’d out for me. Sprinkle it, Jesu, on my heart! One drop of thy all-cleansing blood Shall make my sinfulness depart, And fill me with the life of God. Father, supply my every need: Sustain the life thyself hast giv’n; Call for the corn, the living bread, The manna that comes down from heav’n. The gracious fruits of righteousness, Thy blessing’s unexhausted store, In me abundantly increase: Nor never let me hunger more. Let me no more in deep complaint “My leanness, O my leanness,” cry! Alone consum’d with pining want, Of all my Father’s children I! The painful thirst, the fond desire Thy joyous presence shall remove, While my full soul doth still require The whole eternity of love. Holy, and true, and righteous Lord, I wait to prove thy perfect will: Be mindful of thy gracious word, And stamp me with thy Spirit’s seal. Thy faithful mercies let me find In which thou causest me to trust; Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And lay my spirit in the dust. Shew me how foul my heart hath been When all renew’d by grace I am; When thou hast emptied me of sin, Shew me the fulness of my shame. Open my faith’s interior eye, Display thy glory from above; And all I am shall sink and die, Lost in astonishment and love.
