The Gift of Righteousness

Verse 1

I ask the gift of righteousness, The sin-subduing power, Power to believe, and go in peace, And never grieve Thee more.

Verse 2

I ask the blood-bought pardon sealed, The liberty from sin, The grace infused, the love revealed, The kingdom fixed within.

Verse 3

Thou hearest me for salvation pray, Thou seest my heart's desire; Make ready in Thy powerful day, The fulness I require.

Verse 4

Art Thou not able to convert? Art Thou not willing, too? To change this old rebellious heart, To conquer and renew?

Verse 5

Amen.
