"When He hath begun our cure, / Seal'd the pardon on our heart,"

When He hath begun our cure,
  Seal'd the pardon on our heart,
Made our life and nature pure,
  Shall we bid Him then depart?
No, unless with us He stays,
  Still applies His balmy blood,
We shall forfeit all His grace,
  Live to sin, and die to God.
