From every stain

• • From every stain made clean, 
  • from every sin set free; 
  • oh, blessed Lord, this is the gift 
  • that Thou hast promised me. 
  • And pressing through the past 
  • of failure, fault, and fear, 
  • before Thy cross my all I cast, 
  • and dare to leave it there. 
  • 
    
  • From Thee I would not hide 
  • my sin because of fear 
  • what men may think; I hate my pride, 
  • and as I am appear. 
  • Just as I am, O Lord, 
  • not what I'm thought to be; 
  • just as I am, a struggling soul 
  • for life and liberty. 
  • 
    
  • While in Thy light I stand, 
  • my heart, I seem to see, 
  • has failed to take from Thine own hand 
  • the gifts it offers me. 
  • O Lord, Thy plenteous grace, 
  • Thy wisdom and Thy power, 
  • I here proclaim before Thy face, 
  • can keep me every hour. 
  • 
    
  • Upon the altar here 
  • I lay my treasure down; 
  • I only want to have Thee near, 
  • King of my heart to crown. 
  • The fire doth surely burn 
  • my every selfish claim; 
  • and while from them to Thee I turn, 
  • I trust in Thy great name. 
  • 
    
  • A heart by blood made clean, 
  • in every wish and thought; 
  • a heart that by God's power has been 
  • into subjection brought; 
  • to walk, to weep, to sing, 
  • within the light of heaven; 
  • this is the blessing, Saviour, King, 
  • that Thou to me hast given!
