The Cleansing Act

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 1:23

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
