LORD, MAY THY BLOOD NOW CLEANSE ME
1. Lord, may Thy
blood now cleanse me,
Wash all my sins
away,
That with Thy Holy
Spirit
Thou may anoint, I
pray.
My life is full of
failures,
My service is so
weak;
The filling of Thy
Spirit
To live for Thee I
seek.
Refrain
Oh, from myself
deliver,
From all its
misery;
I'd hence-forth be
forever
Completely filled
with Thee.
2. Oh, Lord, how
dry my heart is,
It yearns and pants
for Thee;
The filling Of Thy
spirit
Is now my fervent
plea.
Within the smitten
Rock, Lord,
I would entirely
hide;
Pour thro' Thy
living water,
Till I am
satisfied.
3. How cold my
heart has been, Lord,
How slow obeying
Thee,
So fill me with Thy
Spirit,
I'll ne'er
rebellious be.
I lie upon Thy altar
And dare not move
away;
Oh, may Thy flame
descending,
Consume my all, I
pray.
4. Oh, may Thy
Cross within me
Deepen its work and
burn,
In me enlarge Thy
measure,
And me to ashes
turn.
Oh, may Thy Spirit
fill me
Each day more than
before,
And may Thy living
water
On me and thro' me
pour.
