My rising soul, with strong desires,
To perfect happiness aspires;
With steady steps would tread the road,
That leads me to the mount of God.
Jesus, for thee I often sigh,
Oh may thy cheering grace be nigh!
Nor let me be the first to say,
Thou wilt not hear when sinners pray.
Fain would I drink unmingled love,
From the pure fountain-head above;
My dearest Lord, I long to be,
Emptied of sin and full of thee.
