Be it un¤to me Lord Je¤sus,
Just ac¤cord¤ing to Thy Word.
I would be the emp¤ty ves¤sel,
That Thy name might be a¤dored,
Dwell with¤in me by Thy Spir¤it,
Keep me sanc¤ti¤fied and still,
Do¤ing on¤ly Thy good pleas¤ure,
Yield¤ing to Thy Ho¤ly Will.

May I nev¤er grieve Thy Spir¤it
Thou hast sealed me as Thine own,
Keep me spir¤it, soul and bod¤y,
Thine and on¤ly Thine a¤lone,
Free from eve¤ry power of e¤vil,
Dai¤ly un¤der Thy con¤trol,
Plant¤ed by the Liv¤ing Waters,
Pros¤per¤ing with¤in my soul.

Lord when heart and flesh would fail me,
May I prove Thee near my side
Be my strength and hab¤i¤ta¤tion,
Shep¤herd, Coun¤sel¤lor and guide,
’Mid the scenes of des¤o¤la¤tion,
Earth¤ly lusts on eve¤ry hand,
Lead me on a pil¤grim stran¤ger,
Safe¤ly through the des¤ert land.

We have no a¤bid¤ing cit¤y,
None be¤neath the glow¤ing sun.
Soon our days of toil and la¤bour
For the Mas¤ter will be done,
All our night of grief and sor¤row,
Care and pain will pass a¤way,
And with Je¤sus in the glo¤ry,
We shall dwell in per¤fect day.
