1
Come, Jesus, Lord, with holy fire,
Come, and my quickened heart inspire,
  My conscience purged by blood;
Now to my soul Thyself reveal,
Thy mighty working let me feel,
  Since I am born of God.
2
Let nothing now my heart divide,
Since with Thee I am crucified,
  And live to God in Thee.
Dead to the world and all its toys,
Its idle pomp and fading joys,
  Jesus, my glory be.
3
Now with a quenchless thirst inspire,
A longing, infinite desire,
  And fill my craving heart.
Less than Thyself, oh, do not give,
In might Thyself within me live;
  Come, all Thou hast and art.
4
My will be swallowed up in Thee,
Light in Thy light still may I see
  In Thine unclouded face:
Called the full strength of trust to prove,
Let all my quickened heart be love,
  My spotless life be praise.

Since I AM BORN OF GOD!!!.

Less than Thyself, oh, do not give,

In might Thyself within me live

Come, all Thou hast and art.

Stanza 4 is replaced:

1. Come, Jesus, Lord, with holy fire,

Come, and my quickened heart inspire,

My conscience purged by blood;

Now to my soul Thyself reveal,

Thy mighty working let me feel,

Since I am born of God.

2. Let nothing now my heart divide,

Since with Thee I am crucified,

And live to God in Thee.

Dead to the world and all its toys,

Its idle pomp and fading joys,

Jesus, my glory be.

3. Now with a quenchless thirst inspire,

A longing, infinite desire,

And fill my craving heart.

Less than Thyself, oh, do not give,

In might Thyself within me live;

Come, all Thou hast and art.

4. My past is swallowed up in Thee;

Henceforth, my all is only Thee,

My lot eternally.

Called into fellowship with Thee,

No other love have I but Thee—

Much grace now come to me!
