Christ Our Sanctification

1 Corinthians 1:30.

Jesu! my Life, Thyself apply, Thy Holy Spirit breathe, My vile affections crucify, Conform me to Thy death.

Conqueror of hell, and earth, and sin, Still with Thy rebel strive; Enter my soul, and work within, And kill, and make alive.

More of Thy life, and more I have, As the old Adam dies: Bury me, Saviour, in Thy grave, That I with Thee may rise.

Reign in me, Lord, Thy foes control, Who would not own Thy sway; Diffuse Thy image through my soul; Shine to the perfect day.

Scatter the last remains of sin, And seal me Thine abode; O, make me glorious all within, A temple built by God.

My inward holiness Thou art, For faith hath made Thee mine: With all Thy fulness fill my heart, Till all I am is Thine!
