HE wills that I should holy be,By A Collection of Hymns L.M. 1 HE wills that I should holy be, That holiness I long to feel; That full divine conformity To all my Saviour's righteous will.
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. 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 fulfil. 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. 5 Jesus, thy loving Spirit alone Can lead me forth, and make me free, Burst every bond through which I groan, And set my heart at liberty: 6 Now let thy Spirit bring me in, And give thy servant to possess The land of rest from inbred sin, The land of perfect holiness. 7 Lord, I believe thy power the same, The same thy truth and grace endure; And in thy blessed hands I am, And trust thee for a perfect cure. 8 Come, Saviour, come, and make me whole! Entirely all my sins remove; To perfect health restore my soul, To perfect holiness and love. Back to A Collection of Hymns index.
