The Work Is Wholly Thine

By C. P. Bollman

I NEED the mystic touch, O Lord, That makes a life divine; I need thy power, O my God, To make my heart like thine.
Thou dost give pardon, gracious God, My soul hast freely shriven; But, O, I need transforming power To fit me, Lord, for heaven!
Thou hast imputed, O my Lord, To me thy perfect life; Come and impart it hour by hour, Give victory in strife.
Grace must be inwrought, blessed Lord, Flow out as if 'twere mine; And yet, abiding in thee, Lord, The work is wholly thine.
