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!
