Saviour, of the sin-sick soul,
Give me faith to make me whole;
Finish thy great work of grace:
Cut it short in righteousness.
Speak he second time,—Be clean!
Take away my inbred sin;
Every stumbling-block remove;
Cast it out by perfect love.
Nothing less will I require;
Nothing more can I desire:
None but Christ to me be given;
None but Christ in earth or heaven.
O that I might now decrease!
O that all I am might cease!
Let me into nothing fall;
Let my Lord be all in all!
Hymns for the Use of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Tunes for Congregational Worship (1857, Carlton and Porter, New York).
