Lord, shed a¤broad Thy bound¤less love
In this poor con¤trite ¤heart of mine
Let eve¤ry part be ¤sanc¤ti¤fied,
Re¤newed and whol¤ly ¤one with Thine.

Thy Spir¤it search¤ing shall re¤veal
The hid¤den se¤crets ¤of my heart
Thy pure and pen¤e¤¤trat¤ing light
Shall reach and heal each ¤hid¤den part.

Oh, make me whol¤ly one with Thee,
Heart, mind and will and ¤con¤science pure
The love con¤strain¤ing ¤me to make
My call¤ing and e¤¤lec¤tion sure.

Thy gra¤cious Spir¤it help¤ing me
To stand be¤fore Thee ¤with¤out blame
My high¤est prize, O ¤Liv¤ing God,
To glo¤ri¤fy Thy ¤sa¤cred name.

Thine own all cleans¤ing blood ap¤ply;
In Thee, my Sav¤iour, ¤I will trust,
Thy blood and right¤eous¤¤ness my plea–
My right¤ful place– low ¤in the dust.

Thou God of Love and Peace a¤rise,
And fill the tem¤ple ¤Thou hast made,
Nor life, nor death, an¤¤gels or men,
Can hurt or make my ¤soul a¤fraid.

Love strong¤er far than death or hell
En¤folds me now in ¤Thy em¤brace;
Se¤cure the bond and ¤fix the seal,
Till lost in love, I ¤see Thy face.
