Verse 1
That liberty from sin
O when shall I attain?
Jesus, be manifest within,
And form my soul again;
Redemption thro’ thy blood
I find by finding Thee;
And cannot sin, when born of God,
And God is born in me.
Verse 2
Jesus, thy word I plead,
Thy promise I embrace,
If Thou hast made me free indeed,
Confirm my heart with grace;
Supported by thy hand
O may I still remain,
Fast on the Rock of ages stand,
And never sin again.
Verse 3
If Thou my bonds hast broke,
My constant Saviour Thou
Preserve me, that to Satan’s yoke
I never more may bow;
May never lose the power
Of faith and humble love,
But stand unshaken as the Tower
That hides my life above.
Verse 4
Confiding in thy name
To sin I need not yield,
But able thro’ thy strength I am
To win the hard-fought field,
My freedom to maintain,
In all thine image rise,
The summit of perfection gain
And sink beyond the skies.
