1
The things my God doth hate, That I no more may do, Thy creature, Lord, again create, And all my soul renew;
2
That blessed law of thine, Jesu, to me impart; Thy spirit's law of life divine, Oh write it in my heart!
3
Implant it deep within, Whence it may ne'er remove, The law of liberty from sin, The perfect law of love.
4
Thy nature be my law, Thy spotless sanctity, And sweetly ev'ry moment draw My happy soul to thee;
5
Soul of my soul remain, Who didst for all fulfil, In me, O Lord fulfil again Thy heav'nly father's will.
