[Father, I still His passion plead]
Father, I still His passion plead,
Which bought Thy love for all mankind,
And pardon'd, in this time of need,
I come, confirming grace to find;
Importunate in faithful prayer,
Thy promised succours I implore,
Power to withstand, and strength to bear,
Till sin destroy'd can tempt no more.

Thy promised succours I implore,
Power to withstand, and strength to bear,
Till sin destroy'd can tempt no more.
The grace I every moment want,
The fresh supplies of faith and love,
God of exhaustless mercy, grant,
In answer to my Friend above:
Increase my faith, confirm my hope,
Complete my love and purity,
And lo, I yield my spirit up,
And find the place prepared for me.
