Lyrics

Saviour, cleanse us from all sin, (Ezek. 37:23, Ps. 51:2, Ezek. 36:25-27, I Jn. 1:7)
And thus thy people make,
Wholly thine, when pure within
Thy nature we partake; (II Pet. 1:4)
Then our God thou fully art, (Ezek. 37:23)
When Father, Son, and Spirit reveal’d
Dwell within the sinless heart, (Eph. 3:17, John 14:23)
And speak the promise seal’d. (Eph. 1:13)
