Author:Rev. J. H. Myers
Tune:[I thirst th’abundant life to know]
Composer:Lillian Taitt Sheldon

36. The Life More Abundant

1 I thirst th’abundant life to know,
The largeness of Thy love;
Wilt Thou the Holy Ghost bestow,
In fullness from above.

2 Break down the idols, O my King,
And set my spirit free;
Make Thou my soul with gladness sing,
In perfect liberty.

3 I hate the ties of earth that bind
My soul to sensuous things;
I long in fuller life to find
The joy that freedom brings.

4 I would be fully set apart,
And separated be;
Reign Thou supreme within my heart
To all eternity.
