Verse 1
Father, my wretched heart I find
To every evil thing inclin’d:
Yet shall it be inclin’d to none
If Thou herein reveal thy Son.

Verse 2
Who made my peace, ’tis He, ’tis He
Must make an end of sin in me,
Finish th’ original offence,
And take the sinful nature hence.

Verse 3
But while it doth in me remain,
Thy grace is able to restrain,
To quench at once the kindling fire,
And every spark of fond desire.

Verse 4
The moment I to sin incline,
Thou canst with Energy divine
Its strong propensity controul,
And crush the rebel in my soul.

Verse 5
Wherefore to Thee with faith I cleave,
My soul into thy keeping give,
Till Thou thy Spirit’s sword employ
And Christ the carnal mind destroy.

Verse 6
Then Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I find in Thee what Adam lost,
The struggle’s past, the Conflict o’re,
And born of God, I sin no more.
