Verse 1
Come, let us who to Christ are join’d,
Forgetting still the things behind,
This only thing persist to do,
Our calling’s glorious prize pursue.

Verse 2
Our works, and gifts, and graces past,
All, all behind our back be cast,
This, only this remembred be,
Jesus hath died for us; for me.

Verse 3
He died, that we to him might live,
Might all his righteousness receive,
Fulness of love, and health, and power;
He died, that we might sin no more.

Verse 4
He shed his blood to wash us clean
From all unrighteousness, and sin,
To save from all iniquity;
Jesus hath died for us; for me.

Verse 5
He died that we might be made whole,
Holy in body, spirit, soul,
Might do his will like those above,
Renew’d in all the life of love.

Verse 6
Lay the foundation then no more,
Reach forth unto the things before,
On to the prize undaunted press,
And seize the crown of righteousness.

Verse 7
We shall the end of faith attain,
The uttermost salvation gain,
(Our calling’s hope, our calling’s prize,
The tree of life in paradise.)

Verse 8
Shall taste the manna of his grace,
And pure in heart behold his face,
Our Jesus shall himself impart,
And cleanse, and fill the sinless heart.

Verse 9
His nature to our souls make known,
And write the name in the white stone,
We all shall all his fulness prove,
And find the pearl of perfect love.
