NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME by CHARLES WESLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: NOW, EVEN NOW, I YIELD, I YIELD
Last Line: INTO THY PERFECT LOVE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Now, even now, I yield, I yield,
With all my sins to part;
Redeemer, speak my pardon seal'd,
And purify my heart.

O Jesus, now my heart inspire
With that pure love of Thine;
Enkindle now the heavenly fire,
To brighten and refine.

Now purify my faith like gold;
The dross of sin remove;
Melt down my spirit, Lord, and mould
Into Thy perfect love.
