What Is Our Calling's Glorious Hope

For this to Jesus I look up; I calmly wait for this. 2 I wait, till He shall touch me clean, shall life and pow'r impart, Give me the faith that casts out sin and purifies the heart. 3 This is the dear redeeming grace, for ev'ry sinner free; Surely it shall on me take place, The chief of sinners, me. 4 From all iniquity, from all, He shall my soul redeem; In Jesus I believe, and shall believe myself to Him. 5 When Jesus makes my hearth His home, My sin shall all depart; And lo! He saith, I quickly come, to fill and rule thy heart. 6 Be it according to Thy word; Redeem me from all sin; My heart would now receive Thee, Lord; come in, my Lord, come in!

O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with Thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! 4 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of Thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm!
