Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O my Lord, what must I do Lyrics: 1 O my Lord, what must I do? Only thou the way canst show; Thou canst save me in this hour, I have neither will nor power: God if over all thou art, Greater than the sinful heart; Let it now on me be shown, Take away the heart of stone. 2 Take away my darling sin, Make me willing to be clean; Make me willing to receive What thy goodness waits to give: Force me, Lord, with all to part, Tear all idols from my heart; Let thy power on me be shown, Take away the heart of stone. 3 Jesu, mighty to renew, Work in me, to will and do; Turn my nature's rapid tide, Stem the torrent of my pride, Stop the whirlwind of my will, Bid corruptions, Lord, be still; Now thy love Almighty show, Make e'en me a creature new. 4 Arm of God, thy strength put on, Bow the heavens, and come down; All mine unbelief o'erthrow, Lay the aspiring mountain low; Conquer thy worst foe in me. Get thyself the victory, Save the vilest of the race, Force me to be saved by grace. The Christian's duty, exhibited in a series of hymns, 1791
