Come then, my God, the promise seal

Verse 1
Come then, my God, the promise seal,
This mountain-sin remove,
Now in my gasping soul reveal
The virtue of thy love:
I want thy life, thy purity,
Thy righteousness brought in,
I ask, desire, and trust in thee,
To be redeem’d from sin.

Verse 2
For this, as taught by thee, I pray,
And can no longer doubt,
Remove far hence, to sin I say,
Be cast this moment out:
The guilt and strength of self and pride
Be pardon’d and subdued,
Be cast into the crimson tide
Of my Redeemer’s blood.

Verse 3
Saviour, to thee my soul looks up;
My present Saviour thou:
In all the confidence of hope,
I claim the blessing now!
’Tis done: thou dost this moment save,
Thou dost with pardon bless;
Redemption thro’ thy blood I have,
And heaven in thy peace.
