but inward holiness?
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!
