My inward holiness thou art,
For faith hath made thee mine:
With all thy fulness fill my heart,
Till all I am is thine!
Christ Our Redemption.
[1 Corinthians i. 30.]
Thee, O my great Deliverer, thee
My ransom I adore:
Thy death from hell hath set me free,
And I am damn’d no more.
In thee I sure redemption have,
The pardon of my sin;
Thy blood I find mighty to save;
Thy blood hath made me clean.
I feel the power of Jesu’s name,
It breaks the captive’s chain;
And men oppose, and fiends exclaim,
And sin subsists in vain.
Redeem’d from sin, its guilt, and power
My soul in faith defies:
But O! I wait the welcome hour,
When this frail body dies.
