Representative Text

1 After Thy grace, O Lord, I press,

Unto Thy throne of grace.

3 Awake within me newer zeal,
To seek Thee ev'ry hour,
And let my sluggish spirit feel
The quick'ning of Thy pow'r.

4 Give me not up to mine own heart,
Baptize my soul in Thee,
Let me in Christ secure apart,
And in Him happy be.
