This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

Lord, I would have Thyself in all Thy beauty,

Take Thou control of all my life just now;

In Thee to live, and move, and have my being,

With full abandon, Lord, to Thee I bow.

 

Thy blood was shed to cleanse from sin, Lord Jesus,

Thy risen life transforms the old to new;

I take my stand upon Thy word of promise:

Sin shall not have dominion over you!

 
 2 

Show me the things of which I am unconscious,

Lord, put Thy finger now upon my heart;

Whisper to me, through Thy blest Holy Spirit,

Tell me what grieves Him, that it may depart.

 

Thy blood was shed to cleanse from sin, Lord Jesus,

Thy risen life transforms the old to new;

I take my stand upon Thy word of promise:

Sin shall not have dominion over you!

 
 3 

Thou art my Victor over keen temptation,

Thou art my Shield, to meet the darts of sin;

Lord Jesus, Thou alone can keep me trusting,

And living out Thy glorious life within.

 

Thy blood was shed to cleanse from sin, Lord Jesus,

Thy risen life transforms the old to new;

I take my stand upon Thy word of promise:

Sin shall not have dominion over you!
