Holy Ghost, change me within, Make of me a new-born creature; For the flesh works ruination And can never gain salvation. 3 Drive away the gloomy night Of my heart's perverse reflection; Quench all tho'ts that are not right, Hold my reason in subjection; Grant that I from Thee, with yearning, Wisdom always may be learning. 4 Oh, create a heart in me That in Thee, my God, believeth And o'er the iniquity Of my sins most truly grieveth. When dark hours of woe betide me, In the wounds of Jesus hide me. 5 As a branch upon a vine In my blessed Lord implant me; Ever of my Head divine To remain a member grant me. Oh, let Him, my Lord and Savior, Be my Life and Love forever! 6 Faith and hope and charity Graciously, O Father, give me; Be my Guardian constantly That the devil may not grieve me; Grant me humbleness and gladness, Peace and patience in my sadness. 7 Help me speak what's right and good And keep silence on occasion; Help me pray, Lord, as I should, Help me bear my tribulation; Help me die and let my spirit Everlasting life inherit. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU
