• Purge me from every sinful blot; My idols all be cast aside: Cleanse me from every evil thought, From all the filth of self and pride. The hatred of the carnal mind Out of my flesh at once remove: Give me a tender heart, resigned, And pure, and full of faith and love.

    John Wesley: Purge me from every sinful blot; 
 My idols all be cast aside: 
 Cleanse me from every evil thought, 
 From all the filth of self and pride. 
 
 The hatred of the carnal mind 
 Out of my flesh at once remove: 
 Give me a tender heart, resigned, 
 And pure, and full of faith and love.
    John Wesley (1827). “The Works of the Rev. John Wesley”, p.21
