Text:Come, thou omniscient Son of man

CCLXVI. Come, thou omniscient Son of man

1 Come, thou omniscient Son of man,
Display thy sifting power:
Come with thy winnowing Spirit's fan,
And throughly purge thy floor.

2 The chaff of sin, the accursed thing,
Far from our souls be driven!
The wheat into thy garner bring,
And lay us up for heaven.

3 Look through us with thy eyes of flame!
The clouds and darkness chase:
And tell me, what by sin I am,
And what I am by grace.

4 Whate'er offends thy glorious eyes,
Far from our hearts remove!
As dust before the whirlwind flies,
Disperse it by thy love.

5 Then let us all thy fulness know,
From every sin set free;
Sav'd to the utmost sav'd below,
And perfectly like thee.
