A Holy Heart the Savior's Home

Verse 1

What is our calling's glorious hope, But inward holiness? For this to Jesus I look up; I calmly wait for this.

This is the dear redeeming grace, For every sinner free; Surely it shall on me take place, The chief of sinners--me.

Verse 4

From all iniquity, from all, He shall my soul redeem; In Jesus I believe, and shall Believe myself to him.

Verse 5

When Jesus makes my heart his home, My sin shall all depart; And, lo! he saith, I quickly come, To fill and rule thy heart.

Verse 6

Be it according to thy word; Redeem me from all sin; My heart would now receive thee, Lord; Come in, my Lord, come in!
