In Temptation

Jesu, hear a sinner's prayer;
Lo! I flee Unto Thee,
Cast on Thee my care.

If, O Lord, I have found favour
In Thy sight, Be my might,
Be my loving Saviour.

To my soul in sore temptation
Let Thine aid Be convey'd,
Show me Thy salvation.

Christ the tempted, hear my crying;
Sinner's Friend, Succour send,
See, my soul is dying.

Lord, I cannot cease from sinning,
Till Thou art In my heart,
Ending as beginning.

Every moment am I falling
Into hell, Till Thou seal
My effectual calling.

Alpha and Omega, save me;
Enter in, Bid my sin,
Bid my nature leave me.

Jesu, for Thy love I languish;
Only love Can remove
All my grief and anguish.

I shall all in Thee inherit;
Thirst no more, If Thou pour
Into me Thy Spirit.

Jesu's love than sin is stronger;
When I prove Jesu's love,
I shall sin no longer.

Faithful to Thy Spirit's leading,
I shall rest On Thy breast,
Find my long-sought Eden.

Neither life nor death shall sever;
When Thou art In my heart,
Thou art there for ever.
