O that my load of sin were gone
Author: Chas. Wesley Hymnal: Living Hymns #287 (1890) First Line: O that my load of sin were gone! Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone!
O that I could at last submit
At Jesus’ feet to lay it down--
To lay my soul at Jesus’ feet!
2 Rest for my soul I long to find;
Saviour of all, if mine thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;
I cannot rest till pure within,
Till I am wholly lost in thee.
4 Fain I would learn of thee, my God,
Thy light and easy burden prove,
The cross all stained with hallowed blood,
The labor of thy dying love.
5 I would, but thou must give the power;
My heart from every sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.
