Is there or can someone come up with another tune....lyrics are wonderful! I think our young people will enjoy it.
Detroit, MI, United States
This hymn, written by Charles Wesley less than 4 years after his conversion, is based on Ps 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
------------------------------
The original 3rd line of stanza 1 says:
"A heart that always feels Thy blood" instead of "With conscience sprinkled by the blood"
-------------------------
There are 3 additional stanzas not usually included in hymnals, which come before the last stanza:
----------------------
Thy tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe:
Jesus, for thee distressed I am,
I want Thy love to know.
---------------------
My heart, Thou know’st, can never rest
Till Thou create my peace;
Till of mine Eden repossest,
From self, and sin, I cease.
---------------------------
Fruit of Thy gracious lips, on me
Bestow that peace unknown,
The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.
United States
Amen and amen.
