EN 5365 Keep Thyself Pure

1Tim.5.22

Versi Version 1

Keep thyself pure! Christ’s soldier, hear,

Through life’s loud strife, the calls rings clear.

Thy Captain speaks: His word obey;

So shall thy strength be as thy day.

Keep thyself pure! Thrice blessed he

Whose heart from taint of sin is free;

His feet shall stand where saints have trod,

He with rapt eyes shall see his God.

Keep thyself pure! For He Who died,

Himself for thy sake sanctified;

Then hear Him speaking from the skies,

And victor o’er temptation rise.

O Holy Spirit, keep us pure,

Grant us Thy strength when sins allure;

Our bodies are Thy temple, Lord;

Be Thou in thought and act adored.
