Representative Text

1. Come, my fond flutt'ring heart;
Come, struggle to be free;
You and the world must part,
However hard it be.
My trembling spirit owns it just
But still lies cleaving to the dust.

2. O tempting sweets, forbear;
O dearest idols, fall;
My love you must not share;
Jesus shall have it all.
Though painful and acute the smart,
His love can heal the bleeding heart.

3. O fair, enchanting throng!
O golden dreams, adieu!
Earth has prevailed too long;
Too long I've cherished you;
Aid me, dear Savior, set me free;
My all I will resign to thee.

4. Oh, may I feel your worth
And let no idol dare,
No vanity of Earth
With you, my Lord, compare;
Now bid all earthly joys depart,
And reign unrivaled in my heart.
