Verse 1
The cause of this perpetual pain,
Jesus, the inbred sin remove, (Hosea 14:2)
Peace for a dying soul ordain,
And save me by thy purest love,
Then, or whene’er Thou wilt release,
My soul in all thy mind renew’d, (Rom. 12:2)
Created in true holiness, (Eph. 4:23-24)
One spirit with my hallowing God. (I Cor. 6:17)
Verse 2
But canst Thou take it all away?
But can I trust Almighty Love
The root to kill, the remnant slay,
The sinful nature to remove? (Rom. 6:6)
Jesus, I stedfastly believe
The saving Power of God Thou art,
And wilt his perfect Image give, (II Cor. 3:18, I Cor. 15:49)
Thyself, into my sinless heart.
Verse 3
O woudst Thou now thy presence show,
Thy nature in my heart reveal,
And thus destroy th’ indwelling foe, (Rom. 6:6-7)
And me out of myself expel!
Thy presence finishes my sin,
Thy presence makes an end of me; (II Cor. 5:17)
Come in, thou holy God, come in,
And I shall all be lost in Thee. (I Cor. 6:17)
