Create in me a dean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me, Psalms 51:10. See God’s answer, Ezekiel 11:19-20.
A glorious promise! but you may rely upon it, O my soul, and plead it in thy prayer, for it will certainly be accomplished. "And blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8. In regard to justification we are perfectly clean by Christ’s atonement; but in regard to sanctification our hearts are not perfectly clean yet; but we have still need to pray, ’’ Create in me a clean heart."
Amen, O Lord! may thy blood and spirit cleanse and sanctify me thoroughly from all my sins. Amen.
Blest with the joys of innocence
Adam our father stood,
Till he debased his soul to sense,
And eat the unlawful food.
Now we are born a sensual race
To sinful joys inclined;
Reason has lost its native place.
And flesh enslaves the mind.
Great God, renew our ruined frame,
Our broken powers restore,
Inspire us with a heavenly flame,
And flesh shall reign no more.
Eternal spirit, write thy law
Upon our inward parts;
And let the second Adam draw
His image on our hearts.
