The Pressure of Sin

Verse 1

O that my load of sin were gone! O that I could at last submit At Jesus’ feet to lay it down, To lay my soul at Jesus’ feet!

Verse 2

Rest for my soul I long to find: Saviour of all, if mine Thou art, Give me Thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp Thine image on my heart.

Verse 3

Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free: I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

Verse 4

Fain I would learn of Thee, my God; Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross, all stained with hallowed blood, The labor of Thy dying love.

Verse 5

I would, but Thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with Thy perfect peace.

Verse 6

AMEN.
