HYMN 33. Evil Thoughts abhorr'd: Or, Heart-Purity
1
Thy power, Lord, is very great,to change the thoughts of men:
If evil thoughts so hatful be,
O let us loath them then!
2
Lord, who can all his errors see?O cleanse my heart within
From evil Thoughts; and keep thou me
from all presumptious Sin!
3
O let not sin have power to reignin me at any time;
And so shall I be free from stain,
and 'scape the greatest crime!
4
Blessed, O blessed, are the Pure,who Pure are still in Heart,
40
and from all sin depart.
5
They're such that cause have to rejoyce,thy Praises forth to sing;
And unto them new comforts shall
from thee, Lord, daily spring:
6
They pardon'd are, and in thy Lovedo evermore remain;
They born are also from above,
and shall with Jesus reign.
