Song 45
1. Jesus, let me ever be
Charles Wesley
Jesus, let me ever be Firmly grounded upon thee Ever in thy work abide, Ever in thy wounds reside.
Plant, and root, and fix in me All the mind that was in thee; Settled peace I then shall find; Jesu's is a quiet mind.
Anger I no more shall feel, Always even, always still Meekly on my God reclined Jesu's is a gentle mind.
I shall suffer and fulfil All my father's gracious will, Be in all alike resigned; Jesu's is a patient mind
When ‘tis deeply rooted here; Perfect love shall cast our fear, Fear doth servile spirits bind, Jesu’s is a noble mind.
I shall nothing know beside Jesus, and Him crucified; Perfectly to Him be joined Jesu’s is a loving mind
I shall triumph evermore, Grateful my God adore God so good, so true, so kind, Jesu’s is a thankful mind.
Lowly, loving, meek and pure I shall to the end endure Be no more to sin inclined; Jesu’s is a constant mind. 15
I shall fully be restored to the image of my Lord, witnessing to all mankind, Jesu’s is a perfect mind
