Love to Jesus

It is fitting that thou shouldest not regard me,
for I am vile and selfish;
yet I seek thee,
and when I find thee there is no wrath
to devour me,
but only sweet love.

The Love of Jesus

If traces of Christ's love-artistry be upon me,
may he work on with his divine brush
until the complete image be obtained
and I be made a perfect copy of him,
my Master.

Jesus My Glory

May I be equally convinced of the guilt
and pollution of sin,
feel my need of a pronce and a saviour,
implore of him repentance as well as forgiveness,
love holiness, and be pure in heart,
have the mind of Jesus, and tread in His steps.

Christ Alone

Here, it is my duty
to be as Christ in this world,
to do what he would do,
to live as he would live,
to walk in live and meekness;
then would he be known

The Name of Jesus

I am ready to flee from myself because of
my abominations;
Yet thou dost no abhor me
but hast devised means for my return to thee,
and that, my thy Son who died to give me life.

The Broken Heart

Blessed Jesus, let me find a covert in they appeasing wounds.
Though my sins rise to heaven thy merits soar
above them;
Though unrighteousness weighs me down to hell,
thy righteousness exalts me to thy throne.
All things in me call for my rejection,
All things in thee plead my acceptance.
