Matthew 19:1: Fain would I, Lord, admittance find

Fain would I, Lord, admittance find
Among that church of the first-born.
But Thou must change my heart and mind
Into a saint a sinner turn,
Inspiring with the strength of grace
To walk in all Thy righteous ways.

All Thy commands I shall fulfil,
Bless'd with the faith that works by love,
Meet Thee on that celestial hill.
Enter the holy gates above,
Eat the immortalizing Tree,
And live supremely bless'd in Thee.
