Lyrics

Take this concupiscence away, (Hosea 14:2)
And while Thou dost the plague remove, (Ps. 39:10)
Saviour, into my heart convey
The chast desire, the heavenly love; (Ps. 51:10)
If Thou dost my salvation will,
If Thou hast bought me with thy blood, (I Pet. 1:18-19, I Cor. 6:20)
My heart with pure affection fill,
And bring me back redeem’d to God. (Rev. 5:9)
