Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #342 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns, Selected and Original Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus, from above!
Assist me with thy heavenly grace;
Empty my heart of earthly love,
And for thyself prepare the place.
2 O let thy sacred presence fill,
And set my longing spirit free;
Which pants to have not other will,
But night and day to feast on thee.
3 While in this region here below,
No other good will I pursue;
I'll bid this world of noise and show,
With all its glitt'ring snares, adieu.
4 That path with humble speed I'll seek,
In which my Saviour's footsteps shine;
Now will I hear, nor will I speak,
Of any other love but thine.
5 Henceforth may no profane delight
Divide this consecrated soul;
Possess it thou, who hast the right,
As Lord and master of the whole.
6 Nothing on earth do I desire,
But thy pure love within my breast;
This, only this, will I require,
And freely give up all the rest. Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love
