Hymn 98: JESUS, let Thy splendour

Verse 1

JESUS, let Thy splendour 

Like a mantle fall, 

On this waiting spirit,

Whilst I yield Thee all;

Clothe me with Thy beauty,

Bathe me in Thy will,

And with life triumphant 

All my nature fill.

Fellowship with Jesus 

This is victory;

They who own His Lordship

Know true liberty,

Verse 2

Give to me a vision

Reaching to the throne

Let me see earth’s problems

In that light alone;

I is Thy Word assures me

All shall work for good,

Things that long have baffled 

Soon be understood.

Verse 3

Blessed cross of Jesus

I Thy power would prove,

Neath Thy shadow living,

Naught this soul shall move

Sanctify me wholly.

Purge from every stain,

All that makes for bondage,

Let it now be slain.

Verse 4

Fired with holy passion.

Moved by urge divine.

Vict’ry being mine?

Men may raise their war-cry.

Lift their standards high,

But before love’s challenge 

Each vain thought shall fly.
