34 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, To Thee we bring our grateful vows;:|| 2 Our dark and erring minds illume : Inspire our hearts with heavenly love,:|| 3 Conduct us safely, by Thy truth, Through life's perplexing road; And bring us, when our journey 's o'er, :|| 4 For in Thy presence e'er abounds :At Thy right hand unceasing flow:|| Repeat third line. 1 In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear, 2 Thy presence fills the universal space, 3 The blessed Jesus is my Lord, my Love: He is my King: from Him I would not move. 4 That uncreated beauty, which has gained. Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course, 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 ! Give us to think as angels think, And feel as angels feel. Come, Saviour, come, and give Thy Spirit course, |
