CVIII. Saviour of the sin-sick soul

1 Saviour of the sin-sick soul,
Give me faith to make me whole:
Finish thy great work of grace!
Cut it short in righteousness.

2 Speak the second time,"Be clean!"
Take away my inbred sin;
Ev'ry stumbling block remove;
Cast it out by perfect love.

3 Nothing less will I require,
Nothing more can I desire:
None but Christ to me be giv'n!
None but Christ in earth or heav'n.

4 O that I might now decrease!
O that all I am might cease!
Let me into nothing fall!
Let me Lord be all in all!
