Hymns for Love, 10
From Hymns for Love · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
Religion
God in Christ, to whom I pray.
Thy omnipotence exert,
Take these evil thoughts away.
Change this poor polluted heart,
By the energy of grace.
By the Spirit of holiness.
When my heart is circumcised,
Emptied of the hell within,
When my spirit is baptized,
Perfectly detach'd from sin.
Fervent then, as those above,
Thee I shall entirely love.
