“Though your sins be as scarlet.” Isa. 1. 18

1 Jesus, thy light impart,
  And lead me in thy path;
  I have an unbelieving heart;
  But thou canst give me faith.

2 Unrivalled reign within;
  My only sovereign be;
  O crucify the man of sin,
  And form thyself in me.

3 Thy blood’s renewing might
  Can make the foulest clean;
  Can wash the Ethiopian white,
  And change the leopard’s skin.

4 Fulfil thy gracious word,
  And show my guilt forgiven;
  Bid me embrace my dying Lord,
  And mount with thee to heaven.
