Verse 1
Throughout my fallen soul I feel,
Salvation is impossible!
A stranger to his grace,
Unchang’d, unhallow’d, unrestor’d,
I cannot stand before the Lord,
Or see Jehovah’s face.

Verse 2
That finish’d holiness alone,
That image of the God unknown
A sinner qualifies
For fellowship with Christ above,
And gives the perfected in love
To meet his glorious eyes.

Verse 3
O would my Lord to me impart
The spotless purity of heart,
For which so long I pine!
Jesus, my true perfection be,
And swallow up my soul in thee,
The depths of LOVE divine.

Verse 4
Then let me see my Saviour’s face,
Then let me on those beauties gaze
Which angels fall before,
And feasting on the rapturous sight,
With all the dazzled sons of light
Eternally adore!
