|
<p>Come, Savior, Jesus, from above!<br>
|
|
Assist me with Thy heavenly grace;<br>
|
|
Empty my heart of earthly love,<br>
|
|
And for Thyself prepare the place.</p>
|
|
<p>O let Thy sacred presence fill,<br>
|
|
And set my longing spirit free!<br>
|
|
Which pants to have no other will,<br>
|
|
But day and night to feast on Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>While in this region here below,<br>
|
|
No other good will I pursue:<br>
|
|
I’ll bid this world of noise and show,<br>
|
|
With all its glittering snares, adieu!</p>
|
|
<p>That path with humble speed I’ll seek,<br>
|
|
In which my Savior’s footsteps shine,<br>
|
|
Nor will I hear, nor will I speak,<br>
|
|
Of any other love but Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>Henceforth may no profane delight<br>
|
|
Divide this consecrated soul;<br>
|
|
Possess it, Thou Who hast the right,<br>
|
|
As Lord and Master of the whole.</p>
