Hosea 14: The root to kill, the remnant slay

The root to kill, the remnant slay,
The sinful nature to remove?
Jesus, I steadfastly believe
The saving power of God Thou art;
And wilt His perfect Image give,
Thyself, into my sinless heart.

O wouldst Thou now Thy presence show,
Thy nature in my heart reveal,
And thus destroy the' indwelling foe,
And me out of myself expel.
Thy presence finishes my sin.
Thy presence makes an end of me;
Come in, Thou holy God, come in.
And I shall all be lost in Thee.

As taught by Thee, O God, I pray.
Take all iniquity away.
Thou utmost Saviour of mankind,
Nor leave the least remains behind.

The guilt and power of sin remove,
The worldly, and the creature love.
The easily besetting sin,
The passion dominant within:

The lusting flesh, the carnal mind
To ill continually inclined,
The' original depravity
Which never can submit to Thee.

Thy Spirit's energy exert,
To circumcise and cleanse my heart
From wrath, concupiscence, and pride,
That Thou may'st in Thy house abide.

Thy Spirit, Lord, can sin subdue,
Can utterly extirpate too.
His more than conquering power employ,
And root and branch the foe destroy.

Then Jesus, then, the good bestow,
Which none but the receivers know;
The constant joy, the perfect peace,
The everlasting righteousness,

The patient, meek, and heavenly mind,
The lowly heart, the will resign'd,
The primitive simplicity.
The true eternal life in Thee.

All the good things which now I claim.
And ask the Father in Thy name.
The gifts for men received above,
O give me more than all in Love.

The gift unspeakable confer.
The Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
With Thee, and with Thy Father one,
God over all, and Good alone.
TO Thou art the thing my soul requires

fill my infinite desires,
Infinite Good, Thyself impart
With all Thou hast, and all Thou art!
