Mark 11: To change this old rebeUious heart

To change this old rebeUious heart,
To conquer and renew?
Thou canst, Thou wilt, I dare believe.
So arm me with Thy power.
That I to sin shall never cleave.
Shall never act it more.
Come then, my God, the promise seal,
This mountain-sin remove,
Now in my gasping soul reveal
The virtue of Thy love:
I want Thy life, Thy purity.
Thy righteousness brought in,
I ask, desire, and trust in Thee,
To be redeem'd from sin.

For this, as taught by Thee, I pray.
And can no longer doubt;
Remove far hence, to sin I say.
Be cast this moment out:
The guilt and strength of self and pride
Be pardon'd and subdued,
Be cast into the crimson tide
Of my Redeemer's blood.

Saviour, to Thee my soul looks up;
My present Saviour Thou:
In all the confidence of hope,
I claim the blessing now!
Tis done: Thou dost this moment save.
Thou dost with pardon bless;
Redemption through Thy blood I have,
And heaven in Thy peace.
