Come, Saviour Jesus

- Come, Saviour Jesus, from above,
- assist me with Thy heavenly grace,
- empty my heart of earthly love,
- and for Thyself prepare the place.
- Oh, let Thy sacred presence fill,
- and set my longing spirit free
- to have, henceforth, no other will,
- but day and night to follow Thee.
- While in this region here below,
- no other good will I pursue;
- I bid this world of noise and show,
- with all its glittering snares, adieu.
- Wealth, honour, pleasure, and what else
- this short-enduring world can give,
- tempt as ye will, my soul repels,
- to Christ alone resolved to live.
- Henceforth let no profane delight
- divide this consecrated soul;
- possess it Thou, who hast the right,
- as Lord and Master of the whole.
- Thee would I love, and Thee alone,
- with pure delight and inward bliss;
- to know Thou takest me for Thine own;
- oh, what a happiness is this!
