Verse 1

COME, Saviour, Jesus, from above! Assist me with Thy heavenly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for Thyself prepare the place.

Verse 2

O let Thy sacred presence fill, And set my longing spirit free! Which pants to have no other will, But day and night to feast on Thee.

Verse 3

That path with humble speed I’ll seek, Where my Saviour’s footsteps shine; Nor will I hear, nor will I speak, Of any other love but Thine.

Verse 4

Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul; Possess it Thou, who hast the right, As Lord and Master of the whole.

Verse 5

Thee I can love, and Thee alone, With pure delight and inward bliss: To know Thou tak’st me for Thine own, O what a happiness is this!

Verse 6

Nothing on earth do I desire, But Thy pure love within my breast; This, only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.
