JESUS, my Lord, I cry to theeBy A Collection of Hymns C.M. 1 JESUS, my Lord, I cry to thee Against the spirit unclean; I want a constant liberty, A perfect rest from sin.
2 Expel the fiend out of my heart, By love's almighty power; Now, now command him to depart, And never enter more. 3 Thy killing and thy quickening power, Jesus, in me display; The life of nature from this hour, My pride and passion, slay. 4 Then, then, my utmost Saviour, raise My soul with saints above, To serve thy will, and spread thy praise, And sing thy perfect love. 5 This moment I thy truth confess; This moment I receive The heavenly gift, the dew of grace, And by thy mercy live. 6 The next, and every moment, Lord, On me thy Spirit pour; And bless me, who believe thy word, With that last glorious shower.
