O That My Load of Sin Were Gone!

O that my load of sin were gone!

O that I could at last sub­mit

At Je­sus’ feet to lay it down

To lay my soul at Je­sus’ feet!

Rest for my soul I long to find:

Savior of all

if mine Thou art

Give me Thy meek and low­ly mind

And stamp Thine im­age on my heart.

Break off the yoke of in­bred sin

And fully set my spir­it free:

I can­not rest till pure with­in

Till I am whol­ly lost in Thee.

Fain I would learn of Thee

my God;

Thy light and ea­sy bur­den prove

The cross

all stained with hal­lowed blood

The la­bor of Thy dy­ing love.

I would

but Thou must give the pow­er;

My heart from ev­ery sin re­lease;

Bring near

bring near the joy­ful hour

And fill me with Thy per­fect peace.
