LyicsMy God, I know, I feel thee mine,
And will not quit my claim,
Till all I have is lost in thine,
And all renew'd I am.
I hold thee with a trembling hand,
But will not let thee go,
Till steadfastly by faith I stand,
And all thy goodness know.
Jesus, thy all-victorious love
Shed in my heard abroad;
Then shall my feet no longer rove,
Rooted and fix'd in God.
O that in me the sacred fire
Might now begin go glow!
Burn up the dross of base desire;
And make the mountains flow!
Sorrow and sin shall then expire,
When enter'd into rest;
I only live my God t' admire,
My God for ever blest.
My steadfast soul from falling free,
Shall then no longer move,
But Christ be all the world to me,
And all my heart be love.
