Release my spirit!
This is what I need:
O may my spirit
with the saints’ be knit;
No more in private ways
Thyself to seek,
But freed from self
and for Thy building fit.
Release my spirit!
This is what I ask,
That self-confined
or closed I may not be;
How deep within myself
I long have been,
If Thou deliver not,
I’ll ne’er be free.
Release my spirit!
‘Tis for this I pray,
That from myself
I fully may come forth;
Thy Spirit then through me
may freely flow,
And Thou Thy presence
fully may show forth.
Release my spirit!
This is what I want,
That I from my
seclusion may depart;
My private seeking
poverty has brought,
Now save from self,
Thy wealth to me impart.
Release my spirit!
This is what I seek,
That prisoned in
my self no more I’ll be;
By Satan’s cunning
cheated nevermore,
But loosed from self
to Thine infinity.
Release my spirit!
‘Tis for this I yearn,
That self may bind
my spirit nevermore;
With all the saints
I’d mingle in Thy life,
And all Thou art
enjoy forevermore.
