1 Cleanse my heart, O Father! cleanse it; 2 Father, make me pure and lowly,

Purge and make it all Thine own;

Let Thy Spirit melt and break it— This proud heart of sin and stone.

Fond of peace and far from strife, Turning from the paths unholy Of a vain and sinful life.

1 Eternal Source of life and light,
Supremely good and wise,

To Thee we bring our grateful vows;:||
Accept our sacrifice.

2 Our dark and erring minds illume
With truth's celestial rays:

: Inspire our hearts with heavenly love,:||
And tune our lips to praise.

3 Conduct us safely, by Thy truth,

Through life's perplexing road;

And bring us, when our journey 's o'er, :||
Lord, to Thine own abode.

4 For in Thy presence e'er abounds
Fullness of purest joy;

:At Thy right hand unceasing flow:||
Pleasures without alloy. IV.

Repeat third line.

1 In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear,
Darkness dispel, the humble mourner cheer;
Vain thoughts remove, melt down the flinty heart,
Draw every soul to choose the better part.

2 Thy presence fills the universal space,
Thy grace appears to all the human race;
Oh! visit us with light and life divine,
Fill every soul,- for every soul is Thine.

3 The blessed Jesus is my Lord, my Love:

He is my King: from Him I would not move.
Hence earthly charms! far, far from me depart,
Nor seek to draw from my dear Lord my heart

4 That uncreated beauty, which has gained.
My ravished heart, has all my glory stained:
His loveliness my soul has prepossessed,
And left no room for any other guest. XI.

Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course,
O feed us now and evermore, from Love's eternal source!
2 Far, far from Thee, our Saviour,
Our youthful steps might roam,
By sin and darkness sink in death,
Nor reach our heavenly home.
Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course,
O feed us now and evermore, from Love's eternal source!
3 Within Thy Church, Lord Jesus,

O let our souls aspire,

To see Thy Spirit's holy light,

And feel celestial fire!

Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course,

O feed us now and evermore, from Love's eternal source !
4 Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
Fill us with holy zeal;

Give us to think as angels think,

And feel as angels feel.

Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course,
O feed us now and evermore, from Love's eternal source!
