A Prayer for Spiritual Liberty.
Save me, Jesus, from my sin,
Giant foe that reigns within;
Causeless fears and vain desires;
Childish hopes, or hellish fires.
Giant foe that reigns within;
Causeless fears and vain desires;
Childish hopes, or hellish fires.
Save me, Lord, from all I love,
That thyself cannot approve;
Save me from each secret snare,
Sin's deceit and guilt's despair.
That thyself cannot approve;
Save me from each secret snare,
Sin's deceit and guilt's despair.
26
Save, O save me from the bait,
Laid by those who lie in wait;
Break in sunder every chain,
That does yet my soul detain:
Laid by those who lie in wait;
Break in sunder every chain,
That does yet my soul detain:
Burst my bonds and set me free,
From my long captivity;
That I may with ardor rise,
Mount from earth and scale the skies.
From my long captivity;
That I may with ardor rise,
Mount from earth and scale the skies.
Thither, where thou art, ascend,
Joys possess that never end;
Shine a star and reign above,
On a throne of radiant love!
Joys possess that never end;
Shine a star and reign above,
On a throne of radiant love!
