My God, I Know, I Feel Thee Mine
VERSE 1
Lord, I
cannot let Thee go,
My God!
I know, I feel Thee mine,
And will
not quit my claim,
Till all
I have is lost in Thine,
And all
renewed I am.
VERSE 2
I hold
Thee with a trembling hand,
But will
not let Thee go,
Till
steadfastly by faith I stand,
And all
Thy goodness know.
VERSE 3
When
shall I see the welcome hour,
That
plants my God in me!
Spirit
of health, and life, and power,
And
perfect liberty!
VERSE 4
Jesus,
Thine all victorious love
Shed in
my heart abroad;
Then
shall my feet no longer rove,
Rooted
and fixed in God.
VERSE 5
Love
only can the conquest win,
The
strength of sin subdue,
(My own
unconquerable sin)
And form
my soul anew.
VERSE 6
Love can
bow down the stubborn neck,
The
stone to flesh convert,
Soften,
and melt, and pierce, and break
An
adamantine heart.
VERSE 7
O that
in me the sacred fire
Might
now begin to glow,
Burn up
the dross of base desire,
And make
the mountains flow!
VERSE 8
O that
it now from heaven might fall,
And all
my sins consume!
Come,
Holy Ghost, for Thee I call,
Spirit
of burning, come!
VERSE 9
Refining
fire, go through my heart,
Illuminate
my soul;
Scatter
Thy life through every part,
And
sanctify the whole.
VERSE 10
No
longer then my heart shall mourn,
While,
purified by grace,
I only
for His glory burn,
And
always see His face.
VERSE 11
My
steadfast soul, from falling free,
Shall
then no longer move;
But
Christ be all the world to me,
And all
my heart be love.
