He wills that I should holy be:
That holiness I long to feel;
That full divine conformity
To all my Saviour’s righteous will.
See, Lord, the travail of thy soul
Accomplish’d in the change of mine;
And plunge me every whit made whole,
In all the depths of love divine.
On thee, O God, my soul is stay’d,
And waits to prove thine utmost will;
The promise by thy mercy made,
Thou canst, thou wilt, in me fulfill.
No more I stagger at thy power,
Or doubt thy truth, which cannot move:
Hasten the long-expected hour,
And bless me with thy perfect love.
Hymns for the Use of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Tunes for Congregational Worship (1857, Carlton and Porter, New York).
