MARK XI. 22, 23, 24.
Jesu, my trust is in Thy word,
Thy promise I receive;
It ever stands upon record,
And I in God believe.
Thy promise I receive;
It ever stands upon record,
And I in God believe.
Thy truth and faithfulness I own,
Which I shall fully prove;
Thy power shall all in me be shown,
Thine utmost power of love.
Which I shall fully prove;
Thy power shall all in me be shown,
Thine utmost power of love.
Such faith in God through Thee I have,
I shall be throughly clean;
Thou canst, Thou wilt the sinner save
From all his inbred sin.
I shall be throughly clean;
Thou canst, Thou wilt the sinner save
From all his inbred sin.
Wherefore through Thee to sin I say,
This mountain in my heart,—
“Be thou removed far hence away,
For ever hence depart!
This mountain in my heart,—
“Be thou removed far hence away,
For ever hence depart!
“No more in me thy being last,
Have thou no place in me;
In Jesu's name I say, Be cast,
Be cast into the sea!”
Have thou no place in me;
In Jesu's name I say, Be cast,
Be cast into the sea!”
It shall be so: I do not doubt,
The mountain shall depart;
Sin shall be shortly all cast out
Of my believing heart.
The mountain shall depart;
Sin shall be shortly all cast out
Of my believing heart.
Whate'er I ask I shall receive:
I ask the perfect power
That sin no more in me may live;
And it shall live no more.
I ask the perfect power
That sin no more in me may live;
And it shall live no more.
309
I have the things for which I pray
And fervently desire;
Jesu, take all my sins away,
Baptize me with Thy fire.
And fervently desire;
Jesu, take all my sins away,
Baptize me with Thy fire.
I ask that I may do Thy will
As angels do above;
I ask Thee all my soul to fill
With pure, seraphic love.
As angels do above;
I ask Thee all my soul to fill
With pure, seraphic love.
Whate'er I ask in faith I have,
As sure as God is true;
From all my sins Thou soon shalt save,
And all my soul renew.
As sure as God is true;
From all my sins Thou soon shalt save,
And all my soul renew.
Things most impossible shall be,
As sure as God is power;
And I shall quickly be in Thee,
And I shall sin no more.
As sure as God is power;
And I shall quickly be in Thee,
And I shall sin no more.
Though heaven and earth away shall pass,
Thy promise cannot move;
And I shall taste the perfect grace,
As sure as God is love!
Thy promise cannot move;
And I shall taste the perfect grace,
As sure as God is love!
