All are Gergesenes in heart

Verse 1
All are Gergesenes in heart,
Who their time refuse to know,
All who with their Saviour part,
Rather than their sins forego;
Visited by Christ in vain,
Who their swine before him chuse,
Sensual lusts, and worldly gain;
Christ, and heaven, and all they lose.

Verse 2
But his presence we implore,
Meeting him in this our day:
Jesus, in thy saving power
Condescend with us to stay:
Thou art all good things in one;
Never from our souls remove,
Fill us with thy love alone,
Perfect, all-sufficient love.
