1. Hear, oh my soul, the cheering word,
Thy righteousness is from the Lord;
Then with a suppliant voice I'll cry,
Lord make it known, and bring it nigh.
2. That blood which once was shed for sin,
Can make the guilty conscience clean;
Oh then apply that blood to me,
For that is now my only plea.
3. From all pollution cleanse my heart,
Thy sanctifying grace impart;
And let my conduct ever prove,
My interest in thy special love.
4. Then shall my varied life express,
My gratitude and thankfulness;
And all thy saints shall with me join,
To celebrate the change divine.
