Lyrics

Verse 1
Good is the saying of my Lord;
I trust thy sanctifying word, (John 17:17)
To every pardon’d sinner sure:
The Holy Ghost, the water clean (Tit. 3:5)
Shall surely make me pure within, (Ezek. 36:25-27, Heb. 10:22)
From all my sins and idols pure:

Verse 2
Thou wilt what thou hast spoken, do, (Ezek. 36:36, Isa. 55:11)
My nature change, my heart renew, (Rom. 12:2, II Cor. 5:7)
And breathe thy Spirit into my breast; (Ezek. 36:25-27, John 20:22)
I then shall always faithful prove,
Fulfil thy law of perfect love, (I John 4:18)
And one with God forever rest. (John 17:21-23)
