Verse 1
O great mountain, who art thou
That dares my God defy!
Thou shalt tremble, stoop, and bow,
When Jesus but draws nigh:
When he to my heart comes in,
Thou shalt there no longer be,
From that hour, indwelling sin,
Thou hast no place in me.

Verse 2
As a grain of mustard-seed,
If faith in Christ I have,
From all sin I shall be freed;
I know, my Lord will save
Me from all iniquity,
Faith shall move the mountain-load,
Cast it out into the sea
Of his all-cleansing blood.

Verse 3
Who hath slighted, or contemn’d
The day of feeble things?
I shall be by grace redeem’d,
’Tis grace salvation brings:
Ready now my Saviour stands,
Him I shall[1] rejoice to see
With the plummet in his hands
To build and finish me.

Verse 4
I right early shall awake,
And see the perfect day,
Soon the Lamb of God shall take
My inbred sin away;
When to me my Lord shall come,
Sin for ever shall depart:
Jesus takes up all the room
In a believing heart.

Verse 5
Son of God, arise, arise,
And to thy temple come,
Look, and with thy flaming eyes
The man of sin consume;
Slay him with thy Spirit, Lord,
Reign thou in my heart alone,
Speak the sanctifying word,
And seal me all thine own.
