Author: Adoniram J. Gordon, d. 1895 Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #185 (1957) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Help me to be holy,
O Father of light;
Guilt-burdened and lowly,
I bow in Thy sight;
How shall a stained conscience
Dare gaze on Thy face,
E’en though in Thy presence
Thou grant me a place?
2 Help me to be holy,
O Savior divine;
Why conquer so slowly
This nature of mine?
Stamp deeply Thy likeness
Where Satan’s hath been;
Expel with Thy brightness
My darkness and sin!
3 Help me to be holy,
O Spirit divine;
Come, sanctify wholly
This temple of Thine;
Now cast out each idol,
Here set up Thy throne.
Reign, reign without rival,
Supreme and alone!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51 Tune Title: TOWNER
