Gra¤cious Re¤deem¤er, Thou art my ¤sal¤va¤tion,
Naught but Thy blood could for my sins a¤tone;
Give me the grace of ho¤ly res¤ig¤na¤tion
That I may hence¤forth do Thy will a¤lone.

Oh, how this cru¤el self would seek ¤to hin¤der,
And keep me bound in sin and mis¤er¤y,
O Lord be¤stow the grace of self sur¤ren¤der
That I may ev¤er¤more Thy serv¤ant be.

How hard and cold is my poor heart ¤with¤out Thee,
I need Thy love and mer¤cy eve¤ry hour;
Grant me, O God, Thy bless¤ed Ho¤ly Spir¤it
That I may know His gra¤cious, quick¤’ning pow’r.

I would ex¤cel in eve¤ry grace ¤and vir¤tue,
Cleanse and pos¤sess this yield¤ed heart of mine;
Thou didst in mer¤cy shed Thy blood to save me;
Thy love has con¤quered, I am whol¤ly Thine.

Help me to walk in Thy most ¤ho¤ly pres¤ence,
Per¤fect in heart, be¤fore Thee with¤out blame;
Sub¤due each thought and quell each storm¤y pas¤sion
That I may mag¤ni¤fy Thy glo¤rious name.
