Jesu, my Life, Thyself apply

Verse 1
Jesu! My life, thyself apply,
Thy Holy Spirit breathe,
My vile affections crucify,
Conform me to thy death.

Verse 2
Conqu’ror of hell, and earth, and sin,
Still with thy rebel strive,
Enter my soul, and work within,
And kill, and make alive.

Verse 3
More of thy life, and more I have,
As the old Adam dies:
Bury me, Saviour, in thy grave,
That I with thee may rise.

Verse 4
Reign in me, Lord, thy foes controul,
Who would not own thy sway;
Diffuse thy image thro’ my soul;
Shine to the perfect day.

Verse 5
Scatter the last remains of sin,
And seal me thine abode;
O make me glorious all within,
A temple built by God.

Verse 6
My inward holiness thou art,
For faith hath made thee mine:
With all thy fulness fill my heart,
Till all I am is thine!
