My God, I Know, I Feel Thee Mine

My God! I know

I feel Thee mine

And will not quit my claim

Till all I have is lost in Thine

And all re­newed I am.

I hold Thee with a trem­bling hand

But will not let Thee go

Till stead­fast­ly by faith I stand

And all Thy good­ness know.

When shall I see the wel­come hour

That plants my God in me!

Spirit of health

and life

and pow­er

And per­fect li­ber­ty!

Jesus

Thine all vic­tor­ious love

Shed in my heart abroad;

Then shall my feet no long­er rove

Rooted and fixed in God.

Love on­ly can the con­quest win

The strength of sin sub­due

(My own un­con­quer­able sin)

And form my soul anew.

Love can bow down the stub­born neck

The stone to flesh con­vert

Soften

and melt

and pierce

and break

An ada­man­tine heart.

O that in me the sac­red fire

Might now be­gin to glow

Burn up the dross of base d­esire

And make the mount­ains flow!

O that it now from Heav­en might fall

And all my sins con­sume!

Come

Ho­ly Ghost

for Thee I call

Spirit of burn­ing

come!

Refining fire

go through my heart

Illuminate my soul;

Scatter Thy life through ev­ery part

And sanc­ti­fy the whole.

No long­er then my heart shall mourn

While

pur­ified by grace

I on­ly for His glo­ry burn

And al­ways see His face.

My stead­fast soul

from fall­ing free

Shall then no long­er move;

But Christ be all the world to me

And all my heart be love.
