What! Never Speak One Evil Word,
Or Rash, Or Idle, Or Unkind!
O How Shall I, Most Gracious Lord,
This Mark Of True Perfection Find?
Thy Sinless Mind In Me Reveal,
Thy Spirit’s Plenitude Impart;
And All My Spotless Life Shall Tell
The Abundance Of A Loving Heart.
Saviour, I Long To Testify
The Fulness Of Thy Saving Grace;
O Might Thy Spirit The Blood Apply,
Which Bought For Me The Sacred Peace!
Forgive, And Make My Nature Whole,
My Inbred Malady Remove;
To Perfect Health Restore My Soul,
To Perfect Holiness And Love.
