Prepare me, I my God,
To stand before thy face:
Thy Spirit must work perform,
For it is all of grace.
I can't prepare my heart,
Eternal life to gain;
'Tis thou must all the strength impart,
Or all I do is vain.
I can’t one sin atone—
I swell with pride no more;
All the best duties I have done,
I’ve reason to deplore.
In Christ’s obedience clothe,
And wash me in his blood;
So shall I lift my head with joy
Among the sons of God.
Do thou my sins subdue—
Thy sov’reign love make known;
The spirit of my mind renew,
And save me in thy Son.
Let me attest thy power—
Let me thy goodness prove,
Till my full soul can hold no more
Of everlasting love.
