Verse 1

Forever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
’Tis all my hope and all my plea,
“For me the Savior died.”

Verse 2

My dying Savior and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean.

Verse 3

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!

Verse 4

Th’ atonement of thy blood apply
Till faith to sight improve,
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love.

Verse 1

Lord, I believe a rest remains
To all thy people known;
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And thou art loved alone.

Verse 2

A rest where all our soul’s desire
Is fixed on things above;
Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.

Verse 3

Oh, that I now the rest might know,
Believe and enter in:
Now, Savior, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.

Verse 4

Remove this hardness from my heart;
This unbelief remove:
To me the rest of faith impart--
The Sabbath of thy love.

Verse 1

Oh! could I find from day to day,
A nearness to my God;
Then should my hours glide sweet away,
And live upon thy word.

Verse 2

Lord! I desire with thee to live.
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.

Verse 3

O Jesus! come and rule my heart
And I’ll be wholly thine;
And never, nevermore depart;
For thou art wholly mine.

Verse 4

Thus, till my last expiring breath,
Thy goodness I’ll adore;
And, when my flesh dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more.

Verse 1

My God, I know, I feel thee mine,
And will not quit my claim
Till all I have is lost in thine,
And all renewed I am.

Verse 2

I hold thee with a trembling hand,
And will not let thee go,
Till steadfastly by faith I stand
And all thy goodness know.

Verse 3

Jesus, thine all-victorious love
Shed in my heart abroad:
Then shall my feet no longer rove,
Rooted and fixed in God.

Verse 4

Refining fire, go through my heart,
Illuminate my soul;
Scatter thy life through every part,
And sanctify the whole.

Verse 1

My gracious Lord! I own thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight,
To hear thy dictates and obey.

Verse 2

What is my being, but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
Thine ever-smiling face to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.

Verse 3

I would not breathe for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days or powers employ,
To spread a sounding name abroad.

Verse 4

’Tis to my Savior I would live,
To him, who for my ransom died;
Nor could all worldly honor give
Such bliss as crowns me at his side.

Verse 1

He wills that I should holy be;
That holiness I long to feel;
That full divine conformity
To all my Savior’s righteous will.

Verse 2

See, Lord, the travail of thy soul
Accomplished in the change of mine;
And plunge me, every whit made whole,
In all the depths of love divine.

Verse 3

On thee, O God, my soul is stayed,
And waits to prove thine utmost will;
The promise by thy mercy made,
Thou canst, thou wilt in me fulfill.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 1

Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone,
He whom I fixed my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I’ll pursue
The narrow way till him I view.
The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment;
The King’s highway of holiness;
I’ll go, for all his paths are peace.

Verse 2

This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.
The more I strove against its power,
I felt its weight and guilt the more;
Till late I heard my Savior say,
“Come hither, soul, I am the way.”

Verse 3

Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to thee, as I am;
Nothing but sin have I to give;
Nothing but love shall I receive.
Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Savior I have found;
I’ll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, “Behold the way to God.”

Verse 1

Lord, I am thine, entirely thine,
Purchased and saved by blood divine,
With full consent thine I would be,
And own thy sovereign right in me.

Verse 2

Grant one poor sinner more a place
Among the children of thy grace;
A wretched sinner, lost to God,
But ransomed by Immanuel’s blood.

Verse 3

Thine would I live, thine would I die,
Be thine through all eternity;
The vow is past beyond repeal;
And now I set the solemn seal.

Verse 4

Here at that cross where flows the blood,
That bought my guilty soul for God,
Thee, my new Master now I call,
And consecrate to thee my all.

Verse 1

Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesus, thou art all compassion;
Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

Verse 2

Breathe, oh, breathe thy Holy Spirit
Into every troubled breast,
Let us all thy grace inherit;
Let us find thy promised rest;
Take away the love of sinning;
Take our load of guilt away;
End the work of thy beginning;
Bring us to eternal day.

Verse 3

Carry on thy new creation;
Pure and holy may we be;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee:
Change from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Verse 1

O Jesus! full of grace,
To thee I make my moan:
Let me again behold thy face--
Call home thy banished one.

Verse 2

Again my pardon seal,
Again my soul restore,
And freely my backslidings heal,
And bid me sin no more.

Verse 3

Thine utmost mercy show;
Say to my drooping soul--
In peace and full assurance go;
Thy faith hath made thee whole.

Verse 1

Mine eyes and my desire
Are ever to the Lord;
I love to plead his promises,
And rest upon his word.

Verse 2

Lord, turn thee to my soul;
Bring thy salvation near;
When will thy hand release my feet
From sin’s destructive snare?

Verse 3

When shall the sov’reign grace
Of my forgiving God
Restore me from those dangerous ways
My wand’ring feet have trod?

Verse 4

Oh, keep my soul from death,
Nor put my hope to shame;
For I have placed my only trust
In my Redeemer’s name.
