LyicsAssist my soul, my heav'nly king,
Thine everlasting love to sing;
And joyful spread thy praise abroad,
As one through grace that's born of God.
No, it was not the will of man,
My soul's new heav'nly birth began,
Nor will, nor power of flesh and blood,
That turn'd my heart from sin to God.
Herein let self be all abas'd,
And heav'nly love alone confess'd
This be my song through all the road,
That burn I am, and born of God.
O may this love my soul constrain,
To make returns of love again;
That I, while earth is my abode,
May live like one that's born of God.
Lead me, O Lord, in all thy ways,
Guard me, O Lord, through all my days;
O! make thy word my rule and rod,
I'd walk like one that's born of God.
And when th' appointed hour shalt come,
That thou wilt call me to my home,
Joyful I'll pass the chilling flood,
And sing and say, I'm born of God.
