  1. 1Come, Saviour Jesus, from above!
  2. Assist me with thy heavenly grace;
  3. Empty my heart of earthly love,
  4. And for thyself prepare the place.
  5. 2O let thy sacred presence fill,
  6. And set my longing spirit free;
  7. Which pants to have not other will,
  8. But night and day to feast on thee.
  9. 3While in this region here below,
  10. No other good will I pursue;
  11. I'll bid this world of noise and show,
  12. With all its glitt'ring snares, adieu.
  13. 4That path with humble speed I'll seek,
  14. In which my Saviour's footsteps shine;
  15. Now will I hear, nor will I speak,
  16. Of any other love but thine.
  17. 5Henceforth may no profane delight
  18. Divide this consecrated soul;
  19. Possess it thou, who hast the right,
  20. As Lord and master of the whole.
  21. 6Nothing on earth do I desire,
  22. But thy pure love within my breast;
  23. This, only this, will I require,
  24. And freely give up all the rest.
