Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #LXXIV (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, my life, thyself apply,
Thy holy Spirit breathe:
My vile affections crucify,
Conform me to thy death.
2 Conqu'ror of hell, and earth, and sin,
Still with the rebel strive;
Enter my soul, and work within,
And kill, and make alive!
3 More of thy life, and more I have,
As the old Adam dies:
Bury me, Saviour, in thy grave,
That I with thee may rise.
4 Reign in me, Lord, thy foes controul,
Who would not own thy sway;
Diffuse thine image through my soul,
Shine to the perfect day.
5 Scatter the last remains of sin,
And seal me thine abode;
O make me glorious all within,
A temple built by God. Topics: Petition Languages: English
