Complete In Him
Author: Rev. Henry Burton Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 3 #148 (1918) First Line: "Complete!" O sweet and heav'nly word Refrain First Line: Complete in Him, I know, I feel it Lyrics: 1 “Complete!” O sweet and heav’nly word,
That sinless angels never heard!
Our stam’ring lips can scarcely spell it,
It needs a seraph voice to tell it:
Complete, not in myself, but Thee!
“Yes, trusting soul, complete in Me, complete in Me.”
Chorus:
Complete in Him, I know, I feel it;
Complete in Him, I dare to tell it;
Complete in Him, I’m sanctified;
Complete in Him, I’m satisfied, I’m satisfied.
2 But I am weak and full of sin,
All bruis’d without, and stained within;
How can it be that I be holy?
“Ah, learn of Me, the meek and lowly;
My grace it is that sets you free!
Rejoice, thou art complete in Me, complete in Me.” [Chorus]
3 But I am blind, I shall but stray
Or grope and stumble in the way.
“My hand shall hold, Mine eye shall guide thee;
And My bright angels walk beside thee,
Fear not, I gave myself for thee,
And where I am night cannot be, night cannot be.” [Chorus]
4 “Complete in Him!” and what is this,
But gate of pearl that leads to bliss?
Life has no need but Jesus fills it;
Life has no storm but Jesus stills it;
Peace widens, deepens to a sea,
When I can say, “Complete in Thee, complete in Thee.” [Chorus]
5 And when before the great white throne
I reap the joys my tears have sown,
In loftier songs I will adore Him
And cast my crown of gold before Him;
And this my highest note shall be,
“Redeemed and saved, Complete in Thee, complete in Thee.” [Chorus]

=====================
Burton, Henry, D.D., p. 1555, i., born at Swannington, Leicestershire, in 1840. His parents having emigrated to America, he became a student at Beloit College, and graduated in honours. After labouring as a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for a time he returned to England, entered the Wesleyan Ministry in 1865, and has since laboured chiefly in Lanca¬shire and London. His published works include Gleanings in the Gospels, Wayside Songs, 1886, St. Luke in the Expositor's Bible, &c. His hymns in common use, in addition to those named on p. 1555, i., include:—
1. Break, day of God, 0 break. [Second Advent.] Written at Blundell Sauds, near Liverpool, on Christmas Eve, 1900, and included in The Methodist Hymn Book, 1904. "The opening stanza was composed on the Railway Bridge where I lingered on my way home" (Author's MS!.).
2. In the secret of His presence. [Peace in Christ.] Written at Acton, London, published in his Wayside Songs, 1886, and included in the Epworth Hymnal, U.S.A.
3. 0 King of Kings, 0 Lord of hosts. [National Hymn.] Dr. Burton's history of this hymn is: "In the late Queen's Jubilee year, 1887, I composed an Ode which was set to music by Sir J. Stainer, and sung at a Jubilee Festival in the Royal Albert Hall, London. As the Ode could not be sung at any other time, Sir J. Stainer requested me to compose a hymn to which the same music should be set [and of a national character]. This led me to write the hymn" Author's MS.). It is No. 975 in The Methodist Hymn Book, 1904.
4. Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. [Kind Deeds.] "This is based on a little incident in the life of my brother-in-law, the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse. When a boy returning home from a Moravian school in Holland, the steward of the boat on which he sailed from Bristol to Hayle showed him marked attention and kindness, because Mr. Pearse's father, years before, had proved a great friend to his mother. And so he was simply 'passing on' the kindness." (Author's MS.). The hymn was written at Acton on April 8, 1885, and first printed in The Christian Advocate, N.Y., 1886, and again in Wayside Songs, 1886, p. 81. The first stanza has been adopted as a motto by the "International Sunshine Society," of New York.
