Keep from presumptuous sin

It is what my God hates

Lord, create in me a clean heart,

Renew a right spirit.

Then shall this heart of mine

Hate filthiness within

In love Thou hast sanctified it

It will not sin again.

Thy commandment is pure

Jesus, teach me Thy laws

Thy spirit gives laws that bring life

Write them upon my heart

Plant them deep in my heart

That it may ne'er be moved

Law of freedom from transgressions

The perfect law of love

Let your life become mine

A life that is spotless

Draw Thou my heart closer to Thee

Every hour of the day.

Life and spirit Thou art

Redeemer of the world

Make Thou my father's will in heav'n

Be done in me, I pray.
