“I will take away the stony heart.” Ezek. 36. 26

1 Dearest Lord, what must I do?
  Only thou the way canst show;
  Thou canst save me in this hour;
  I have neither will nor power.

2 God if over all thou art,
  Greater than the sinful heart;
  Let thy power in me be shown;
  Take away the heart of stone.

3 Take away my darling sin,
  Make me willing to be clean;
  Make me willing to receive
  What thy goodness waits to give.

4 Teach me, Lord, with all to part;
  Tear all idols from my heart;
  Let thy power on me be shown;
  Take away the heart of stone.

5 Jesus, mighty to renew,
  Work in me to will and do;
  Turn my nature’s rapid tide;
  Stem the torrent of my pride.

6 Stop the whirlwind of my will;
  Bid corruptions, Lord, be still;
  Now thy love almighty show,
  Cleanse my heart, my mind renew.
