Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#317

317. He Wills That I Should Holy Be

1 He wills that I should holy be,
that holiness I long to feel;
that full divine conformity
to all my Savior's righteous will.

2 See, Lord, the travail of Thy soul
accomplished in the change of mine;
and plunge me, ev'ry 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 fulfill.

4 No more I stagger at Thy pow'r,
or doubt Thy truth, which cannot move;
hasten the long expected hour,
and bless me with Thy perfect love.
