431 Thy Mighty Love

2 Shall I not yield to that constraining power?

Shall I not say, O tide of love, flow in?

My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me,

Life cannot be as it hath hither been.

3 Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love,

Clear every avenue of thought and brain,

Flood my affections, purify my will,

Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain.

4 Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God,

Forth from my life, spontaneous and free,

Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace,

Loving, because God loved, eternally.
