The Cleansing Act

Representative Text

1. Come, O my God, the promise seal,
This mountain, sin, remove;
Now in my waiting soul reveal
The virtue of thy love.
Send sanctifying power, Lord,
Come quickly from above;
Burn out the dross of base desire,
Fill me with perfect love.

2. I want Thy life, Thy purity,
Thy righteousness, brought in;
I ask, desire, and trust in Thee,
To be redeemed from sin.
Send sanctifying power, Lord,
Come quickly from above;
Burn out the dross of base desire,
Fill me with perfect love.

3. Saviour, to thee my soul looks up,
My present Saviour Thou!
In all the confidence of hope,
I claim the blessing now.
Send sanctifying power, Lord,
Come quickly from above;
Burn out the dross of base desire,
Fill me with perfect love.

4. ‘Tis done! Thou dost this moment save,
With full salvation bless;
Redemption through thy blood I have,
And spotless love and peace.
O hallelujah! praise His name,
He doth my soul release;
Redemption through Thy blood I have,
And spotless love and peace.
