GHS 95 : Come, Saviour Jesus From Above Lyrics
-
Come, Saviour, Jesus, from above! Assist me with Thy heavenly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for Thyself prepare the place.
-
O let Thy sacred presence fill, And set my longing spirit free! Which pants to have no other will, But day and night to feast on Thee.
-
While in this region here below, No other good will I pursue; I’ll bid this world of noise and show, With all its glittering snares, adieu!
-
That path with humble speed I’ll seek, In which my Saviour’s footsteps shine; Nor will I hear, nor will I speak, Of any other love but Thine.
-
Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul; Possess it Thou, who hast the right As Lord and Master of the whole.
-
Wealth, honour, pleasure, and what else, This short-enduring world can give, Tempt as ye will, my soul repels, To Christ alone resolved to live.
-
Thee I can love, and Thee alone, With pure delight and inward bliss: To know Thou tak’st me for Thine own, O what a happiness is this!
-
Nothing on earth do I desire But Thy pure love within my breast: This, only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.
