Representative Text

1 Pure and free from all corruption,
Lamb of God, I long to be;
To redeem me from destruction
Thou didst die on Calvary.

2 Here in humble consecration,
All I have to Thee I give;
Give me now Thy full salvation,
Help me for Thyself to live.

3 Fill my heart with pure affection,
Make me holy in Thy sight;
Bring me to Thine own perfection;
Lead me ever in Thy light.

Amen.
