EN 3487 Give Me the Faith Which Can Remove

Mark.11.23

Versi Version 1

1

Give me the faith which can remove

And sink the mountain to a plain;

Give me the childlike praying love,

Which longs to build Thy house again;

Thy love, let it my heart overpower,

And all my simple soul devour.

2

I want an even strong desire,

I want a calmly fervent zeal,

To save poor souls out of the fire,

To snatch them from the verge of hell,

And turn them to a pardoning God,

And quench the brands in Jesus’ blood.

3

I would the precious time redeem,

And longer live for this alone,

To spend and to be spent for them

Who have not yet my Savior known;

Fully on these my mission prove,

And only breathe, to breathe Thy love.

4

My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord,

Into Thy blessed hands receive;

And let me live to preach Thy Word,

And let me to Thy glory live;

My every sacred moment spend

In publishing the sinner’s Friend.

5

Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart

With boundless charity divine,

So shall I all strength exert,

And love them with a zeal like Thine,

And lead them to Thy open side,

The sheep for whom the Shepherd died.

6

O that I was as heretofore

When first sent forth in Jesu’s Name.

I rush’d thro’ every open Door,

And cried to All, ‘Behold the Lamb!’

Seiz’d the poor trembling Slaves of Sin,

And forc’d the Outcasts to come in.
