Hymn 406
What is our calling’s glorious hope
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Gen. 17:1
1
What is our calling’s glorious hope
But inward holiness?
For this to Jesus I look up,
I calmly wait for this.
2
I wait, till He shall touch me clean,
Shall life and pow’r impart;
Give me the faith that casts out sin
And purifies the heart.
3
This is the dear redeeming grace,
For every sinner free;
Surely it shall on me take place,
The chief of sinners, me.
4
From all iniquity, from all,
He shall my soul redeem;
In Jesus I believe, and shall
Believe myself to Him.
5
When Jesus makes my heart His home,
My sin shall all depart;
And lo! He saith, I quickly come,
To fill and rule thy heart.
6
Be it according to Thy word!
Redeem me from all sin;
My heart would now receive Thee, Lord,
Come in, my Lord, come in!
