Hymn 545 – HEAV'NLY Father l want to be | C&S English Hymnary

1. HEAV'NLY Father l want to be In holiness and In truth But the love of flesh attacks me Deceiving me everyday. 2. I am but a feeble creature In my spirit and body All my frequent sins committed Now a burden press’d me down. 3. There is one command in my heart Which Thou inserted in me For this reason I will follow Thy love and Thy holy laws. 4. Even if I want to be good I will stray immediately Thy word is always good to me But evil, I do always. 5. Many times I permit my soul To satan for temptation Even though Thy word has warn'd me To depart from all my sins. 6. Father above, Thou and Just Thou My salvation, Thy arm art Blessed Saviour hath Thou sendeth To Him alone l' eleaveth. 7. Lead Thou me with Holy Spirit To the new and wholesome path Teach me, watch me and lead me on Thou Spirit of Most High God AMEN
