Verse 1
Jesu, fulfil the gospel-word,
In us thou beauteous branch arise,
Arise, thou planting of the Lord,
Be glorious in thy people’s eyes.

Verse 2
O root divine, in this our earth
Spring up, and yield a fair increase,
The graces of our second birth,
The goodly fruits of righteousness.

Verse 3
’Scap’d from the world of pride and lust
If now we in thy sight remain,
O make us holy, good, and just,
O let us not believe in vain.

Verse 4
Our names among the living write,
Whose hearts are fixt on things above,
Worthy who walk with thee in white,
Unblameable in spotless love.

Verse 5
Out of our inmost souls expel
The filth and stain of inbred sin,
(In us it shall not always dwell,
For thou hast said, Ye shall be clean.)

Verse 6
O that the grace were now applied!
Bring in, dear Lord, a purer flood,
Open the fountain of thy side,
And purge out all our tainted blood.

Verse 7
Adam descended from above,
The virtue of thy blood impart,
And cleanse from every creature-love,
And make, O make us pure in heart.

Verse 8
The judging, burning Spirit inspire,
O let him to his temple come,
And sit as a refiner’s fire,
And all our sins condemn, consume.

Verse 9
Sin shall not in our flesh remain,
The sanctifying word is sure,
We shall be purg’d from every stain,
And pure as God himself is pure.

Verse 10
Then only can we fall no more,
Freed from the stumbling-block within;
Come thou divine, almighty power,
And save us from indwelling sin.

Verse 11
Keep us thro’ faith to that thy day,
And mark us out for thy[1] abode,
Thy glory over us display,
And guard the future house of God.

Verse 12
Till thou from all our sins shall[2] cleanse,
And perfectly renew our heart,
Thy glory be our sure defence,
Nor ever from our souls depart.

Verse 13
On every dwelling-place of thine,
Create a cloud, and smoke by day,
And let the fiery pillar shine,
By night, and on th’ assembly stay.

Verse 14
Thro’ the long night of doubts and fears,
The day of fierce temptation guide,
And let us, till thy face appears,
O let us in thy wounds abide;

Verse 15
Secure beneath thy shadow sit,
In thee a tabernacle find,
A refuge from the rain and heat,
A covert from the storm and wind.

Verse 16
Lead us till all our toil is past,
Till all thy faithfulness we prove,
And gain the promis’d land at last,
The Canaan of thy perfect love.
