This New Heart

A hymn on the three stages of sanctification in accordance with the Wesleyan tradition.

Upon our blessed adoption, and at once when justified. 

In the instant of the first beat of a new heart made alive.

Our Help indwells and sets apart the Soul unto the light.

You are Holy. Consecrate My life.

You are Holy, So I am wholly Thine.

REFRAIN:

Holy Spirit sanctify us through and through.

May our souls be blameless, set apart in all we do. (1 Thess. 5:23)

Let not sin reign o’r us, less we miss our mark (Romans 6:12).

Help us die to self and live for you with this new heart. (Gal. 2:20, 5:24).

Although we don’t deserve Your grace it all the more abounds.

Our Counselor preserve and steer us closer to Your sound.

A melody progressing as Your fruit is further found. 

You are Holy. Consecrate My life.

You are Holy, So I am wholly Thine.

Keep us grounded and upright Dear Help as we progress. 

Recall Your mighty deeds of great to us in every test.

Convict, encourage, and sustain that Your Namesake be blessed.

You are Holy. Consecrate My life.

You are Holy, So I am wholly Thine.

Perfect Your Church in love we pray according to Thy will.

Enable every saint that sacred callings be fulfilled. 

Consecrate our hearts and guide them till their beating stills. 

You are Holy. Consecrate My life.

You are Holy, So I am wholly Thine.
