Valley of Vision. Pg 8. Great stuff about our great God!
O Fountain of all good,
Destroy in me every lofty thought.
Break pride to pieces and scatter it to the winds,
Annihilate each clinging shred of self-righteousness,
Implant in me true lowliness of spirit,
Abase me to self-loathing and self-abhorrence,
Open in me a fount of penitential tears,
Break me, then bind me up;
Thus will my heart be a prepared dwelling place for my God;
Then can the Father take up His abode in me,
The can the blessed Jesus come with healing in His touch,
Then can the Holy Spirit descend in sanctifying grace;
O Holy Trinity, three Persons and one God, inhabit me, a temple consecrated to thy glory.
When Thou art present, evil cannot abide;
In Thy fellowship is fullness of joy,
Beneath Thy smile is peace of consciencee,
By Thy side no fears disturb, no apprehensions banish rest of mind,
With Thee my heart shall bloom with fragrance;
Make me meet, through repentance, for thine indwelling,
Nothing exceeds Thy power,
Nothing is too great for Thee to do,
Nothing too good for Thee to give,
Infinite is Thy might, boundless Thy love, limitless, Thy grace, glorious Thy saving name,
Let angels sing for
Sinners repenting
Prodigals restored
Backsliders reclaimed
Satan's captives released
Blind eyes open
Broken hearts bound up
The despondent cheered
The self-righteous stripped
The formalist driven from a refuge of lies
The ignorant enlightened
And saints built up in their holy faith
I ask great things of a great God.
