My dying Saviour, and my God, Fountain for guilt, and sin, Sprinkle me ever in thy blood, And cleanse, and keep me clean. Wash me, and make me thus thine own; Wash me, and mine thou art; Wash me, (but not my feet alone) My hands, my head, my heart. Th' atonement of thy blood apply, Till faith to sight improve, Till hope shall in fruition die, And all my soul be love. Page 97 Christ Our Sanctification. 1 Corinthians i. 30. Jesu! My life, thyself apply, Thy Holy Spirit breathe, My vile affections crucify, Conform me to thy death. Conqu'ror of hell, and earth, and sin, Still with thy rebel strive, Enter my soul, and work within, And kill, and make alive. More of thy life, and more I have, As the old Adam dies: Bury me, Saviour, in thy grave, That I with thee may rise. Reign in me, Lord, thy foes controul, Who would not own thy sway; Diffuse thy image thro' my soul; Shine to the perfect day. Scatter the last remains of sin, And seal me thine abode; O make me glorious all within, A temple built by God. Page 98 My inward holiness thou art, For faith hath made thee mine: With all thy fulness fill my heart, Till all I am is thine! Christ Our Redemption. 1 Corinthians i. 30. Thee, O my great Deliverer, thee My ransom I adore: Thy death from hell hath set me free, And I am damn'd no more. In thee I sure redemption have, The pardon of my sin; Thy blood I find mighty to save; Thy blood hath made me clean. I feel the power of Jesu's name, It breaks the captive's chain; And men oppose, and fiends exclaim, And sin subsists in vain. Redeem'd from sin, its guilt, and power My soul in faith defies: But O! I wait the welcome hour, When this frail body dies. Page 99 Come thou, my dear Redeemer, come, Let me my life resign, O take thy ransom'd servant home, And make me wholly thine. Fully redeem'd I fain would rise In soul and body free, And mount to meet thee in the skies, And ever reign with thee. "It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, almighty, everlasting God."42
