[My evil inclination]
My evil inclination
Canst Thou not, Lord, remove,
My every earthly passion
Subdue by heavenly love?
I know that Thou art greater
Than this proud sensual heart;
Come then, and change my nature,
And bid my sin depart.
Canst Thou not, Lord, remove,
My every earthly passion
Subdue by heavenly love?
I know that Thou art greater
Than this proud sensual heart;
Come then, and change my nature,
And bid my sin depart.
Thy promise I confide in
An end of sin to see;
Sin shall no more reside in
An heart possess'd by Thee;
Come, finish the transgression,
And fill Thy hallow'd shrine,
And keep entire possession,
Essential Love Divine.
