[Jesus fill'd with sanctity]

And hath nothing in Me. —xiv. 30.

Jesus fill'd with sanctity,
Sanctity itself Thou art!
Nought of evil is in Thee,
Nought that takes the tempter's part:
Satan came in vain to find
Aught in Thee he call'd his own;
Pure in life and heart and mind,
Sinless Thou, and Thou alone.
Saviour, take my sins away,
All my sinfulness remove,
Bid me always watch and pray,
Fill'd with faith and purest love:
Keep possession of my breast,
Thou my true perfection be;
Satan then may still molest,
Nothing shall he find in me.
