Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FGFHII AJAJKK LMLNAA OPOQRR

That my heart was right with theeA
And lov'd thee with a perfect loveB
O that my Lord would dwell in meA
And never from his seat removeC
Jesus remove th' impending loadD
And set my soul on fire for GodE
-
Thou seest I dwell in awful nightF
Until thou in my heart appearG
Kindle the flame O Lord and lightF
Thine everlasting candle thereH
Thy presence puts the shadows byI
If thou art gone how dark am II
-
Ah Lord how should thy servant seeA
Unless thou give me seeing eyesJ
Well may I fall if out of theeA
If out of thee how should I riseJ
I wander Lord without thy aidK
And lose my way in midnight's shadeK
-
Thy bright unerring light affordL
A light that gives the sinner hopeM
And from the house of bondage LordL
O bring the weary captive upN
Thine hand alone can set me freeA
And reach my pardon out to meA
-
O let my prayer acceptance findO
And bring the mighty blessing downP
With eye salve Lord anoint the blindO
And seal me thine adopted sonQ
A fallen helpless creature takeR
And heir of thy salvation makeR
