Again, indulgent Lord, return
With thy sweet, quickening grace,
To animate my sluggish soul,
And speed me in my race.
O may I feel as once I felt,
When pained and grieved at heart;
Thy kind, forgiving, melting look,
Relieved my ev’ry smart.
Let graces then, in exercise,
Be exercised again:
And, nurtured by celestial power,
In exercise remain.
Awake, my love, my faith, my hope,
My fortitude and joy;
Vain world, begone, let things above
My happy thoughts employ.
Whilst thee, my Saviour, and my God,
I would for ever own;
Drive each rebellious, rival lust,
Each traitor from the throne.
Instruct my mind, my will subdue,
To heaven my passions raise;
And let my life for ever be.
Devoted to thy praise.
