Renewing Grace

Verse 1

Jesu Redeemer, Saviour, Lord, The weary sinner's friend, Come to my help, pronounce the word, And bid my troubles end.

Verse 2

Deliv'rance to my soul proclaim, And life and liberty: Shed forth the virtue of thy name, And Jesus prove to me.

Verse 3

Thy pow'rful Spirit can subdue Unconquerable sin; Cleanse my foul heart, and make it new, And write thy law within.

Verse 4

While, full of anguish and disease, My weak, distemper'd soul Thy love compassionately sees, O let it make me whole!

Verse 5

To thy great name if all things now A trembling homage pay, Make my obdurate spirit bow, My stiff-neck'd will obey.

Verse 6

Sworn to destroy, let earth assail; Nearer to save thou art; Stronger than all the pow'rs of hell, And greater than my heart.
