<p>My God! I know, I feel Thee mine,<br>
And will not quit my claim,<br>
Till all I have is lost in Thine,<br>
And all renewed I am.
<p>I hold Thee with a trembling hand,<br>
But will not let Thee go,<br>
Till steadfastly by faith I stand,<br>
And all Thy goodness know.
<p>When shall I see the welcome hour,<br>
That plants my God in me!<br>
Spirit of health, and life, and power,<br>
And perfect liberty!
<p>Jesus, Thine all victorious love<br>
Shed in my heart abroad;<br>
Then shall my feet no longer rove,<br>
Rooted and fixed in God.
<p>Love only can the conquest win,<br>
The strength of sin subdue,<br>
(My own unconquerable sin)<br>
And form my soul anew.
<p>Love can bow down the stubborn neck,<br>
The stone to flesh convert,<br>
Soften, and melt, and pierce, and break<br>
An adamantine heart.
<p>O that in me the sacred fire<br>
Might now begin to glow,<br>
Burn up the dross of base desire,<br>
And make the mountains flow!
<p>O that it now from heaven might fall,<br>
And all my sins consume!<br>
Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee I call,<br>
Spirit of burning, come!
<p>Refining fire, go through my heart,<br>
Illuminate my soul;<br>
Scatter Thy life through every part,<br>
And sanctify the whole.
<p>No longer then my heart shall mourn,<br>
While, purified by grace,<br>
I only for His glory burn,<br>
And always see His face.
<p>My steadfast soul, from falling free,<br>
Shall then no longer move;<br>
But Christ be all the world to me,<br>
And all my heart be love.</p>
