| | Ephesians 5:26-29 |
| 1. | Oh, sanctify us, Lord; now add Thyself to |
| | us, |
| | In our experience, Thy Person spread in us, |
| | That in reality the church be glorious, |
| | O Lord, do add Thyself, we pray. |
| | Oh, sanctify us, Lord, today; |
| | Lord Jesus, You're the only way. |
| | We take Your Person, Lord; |
| | Oh, spread Yourself abroad. |
| | Oh, sanctify us, Lord, today. |
| 2. | Oh, purify us, Lord, by speaking in our |
| | heart; |
| | Thy living, spoken word this washing will |
| | impart. |
| | Increase Thy speaking, Lord, and cleanse |
| | our every part. |
| | Oh, purify us, Lord, we pray. |
| | Oh, purify us, Lord, today; |
| | Wash all our natural life away. |
| | Speak now Thy word ins us, |
| | And make us glorious. |
| | O Lord, do speak in us today. |
| 3. | O Lord, do nourish us; You are the food we |
| | need; |
| | As we are eating You, we'll be transformed |
| | indeed; |
| | We're fully satisfied as on Yourself we feed, |
| | So nourish us, O Lord, we pray. |
| | O Lord, do nourish us today |
| | As all our self You wash away. |
| | Not only purify, |
| | But fill and satisfy; |
| | O Lord, do nourish us today. |
| 4. | O Lord, do cherish us, as on Thyself we |
| | feed; |
| | Warm us so tenderly and meet our every |
| | need. |
| | Our hardness soften, Lord, till we are Yours |
| | indeed; |
| | Oh, cherish us, dear Lord, we pray. |
| | O Lord, do cherish us today, |
| | Until our coldness flees away. |
| | Oh, hold us close to Thee |
| | And cherish tenderly; |
| | O Lord, do cherish us today. |
| 5. | Lord, make us glorious, by all Your inner |
| | work, |
| | Not glory for ourselves, but glory for the |
| | church; |
| | That You may have Your Bride, thus ending |
| | all Your search. |
| | O Lord, do work on us, we pray. |
| | O Lord, do work on us today! |
| | To form the church Your glorious way. |
| | Oh, spread Yourself in us |
| | Till we are glorious; |
| | Oh, make us glorious, Lord, today. |
