[Holy Ghost, remove the grief]

Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. —ii. 20.

Holy Ghost, remove the grief
And burden of my sins,
Me, convinced of unbelief,
Of righteousness convince.
Comforter, on Thee I call,
Apply the blood that sets me free,
Tell my heart, Who died for all
Hath loved and died for me.
Faith's appropriating power
With Thee I long to feel;
Come in this accepted hour
My Saviour-Lord reveal,
By Thine energy constrain
My soul to cry with joy unknown,
Very God was very man,
And Christ is all my own.
