THOUGH by nature I'm defiled,
Jesus' blood hath made me clean;
He my
sin-sick soul hath healed:
Yea, tho' traces still remain
Of my former sad condition,
When to him for help I cry,
He to soothe my grief is nigh:
Lord, remain my kind physician,
I, thy patient, then am sure
Thou wilt work a thorough cure.

HE who striveth for sanctification, BLESSED Jesus, we implore thee,
But is unrenew'd in heart,
Feeling yet a secret condemnation,
Since with sin he still takes part;
He who hath not yet in Christ be-
lieved,

Let us, cleans'd and purified,
Walk in grace and truth before thee
And in thee by faith abide;
Sanctified :||:
Both in body and in mind.

Is an ointment poured forth;

In thine eyes we have found favour,
Tho' deprav'd and void of worth;
And thy banner :||:
Over us is love divine.

3. Now the conflict is decided,
We count all things else but loss;
What with thee our hearts divided
Now is nailed to thy cross:

We will glory :||:

In the wounded Lamb of God.
4. We will dwell on Calvary's
mountain,

Where the flocks of Zion feed;
Oft resort unto the fountain,
Open'd when the Lord did bleed;
Thence deriving ::
Grace, and life, and holiness.

5. There, with trimmed lamps we'll tarry,

Till the Lord comes from on high, Watch in prayer and ne'er be weary, But await the midnight cry:

Haste to meet him, :: Lo, the Bridegroom draweth nigh. 6. On that day of consummation May we sinners mercy find, Saved with complete salvation, And not one be left behind; As wise virgins :||: May we then before thee stand.

May we all instructed be;
Sanctify us by the merit
Of thy bless'd humanity.
