Prepare me, gracious God,
by R. Elliott·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)
Based on Ps 10:17; 1 Chron 29:18
1
Prepare me, gracious God,
To stand before thy face;
Thy Spirit must the work perform,
For it is all of grace.
2
In Christ's obedience clothe,
And wash me in his blood;
So shall I lift my head with joy
Among the sons of God.
3
Do thou my sins subdue;
Thy sovereign love make known,
The spirit of my mind renew,
And save me in thy Son.
4
Let me attest thy power;
Let me thy goodness prove,
Till my full soul can hold no more
Of everlasting love.
