7.7.7.7.7.7 James Montgomery Renewal in the Image of Christ. Dust and ashes, sin and guilt, -- Christ, for me Thy blood was spilt; Cleanse Thou me from guilt and sin, Make Me pure without, within; Soul and body, at Thy word, Be to saving health restored. Flesh and blood, this mortal frame; Thou wert pleased to wear the same; Though Thy nature was divine, Thou didst condescend to mine; Let me, for Thy mercy's sake, Thy divinity partake. From the ruins of the fall, Me to grace and glory call: Me, O Lord my Righteousness! With Thine image re-impress; Thou didst stoop to earth for me; Raise me up to heaven with Thee. |
