O Saviour Christ, come down to me
Help me, O Lord, with grace divine
Oh expel the love of the world
In me, prepare a place for Thee
2.
Fill Thou my spirit with Thyself
And make me free, yes, free indeed
I long not after other things
Except Thee, Lord both day and night
3.
As long as I am here on earth
I desire no other good thing
I will bid farewell to the world
It’s deceits, fantacies and dreams
4.
The way that my blest Saviour trod
With all haste, I wll seek and find
Neither will my heart crave to know
Any love, but my Saviour’s love
5.
From henceforth, let not the pleasure
Of life have a place in my heart
Make it all Thine for it’s Thine own
It is Thy plan, my heart to rule
6.
Worldly pleasure, riches, honour
Other things this world can afford
I loathe its ensnaring deceits
Christ only will my heart worship
7.
Thou only Thou I choose to love
From the very depths of my heart
What other joy surpasses this
That Thou accepts me as Thine own
8.
There’s naught I desire or long for
But that Thy love take possession
This, only this, my earnest plea
All other things I count as dung
Amen
