1 | God created us His vessels |
| | His expression to achieve; |
| Thus He made a heart to love Him |
| | And a spirit to receive. |
2 | With our heart we have to love Him, |
| | With our spirit Him possess |
| As our life, of Him partaking, |
| | That Himself we may express. |
3 | Satan has our heart corrupted, |
| | To our spirit death did give, |
| That the Lord we should not contact |
| | But by self attempt to live. |
4 | Thus the Lord in His salvation |
| | Heart and spirit has renewed |
| To recover our receiving |
| | And our loving aptitude. |
5 | It is by our hearts renewal |
| | We may God in love pursue, |
| And in newness of the spirit |
| | We may contact God anew. |
6 | Ever true and pure and single |
| | To the Lord our heart must be, |
| Poor in spirit, ever seeking |
| | God to contact constantly. |
7 | Keep our heart, Lord, in loves freshness, |
| | And our spirit strengthen more, |
| That in newness of the spirit |
| | We may touch Thee oer and oer. |
