Wesley, John and Charles

1024. Jesus, Thou say'st I shall receive [from Hymns on the Four Gospels, and Acts of the Apostles. Including Such 'Short Hymns' as Were Published in 1762]

1868

"And stamp in perfect peace and power / Thine image on my heart"

Jesus, Thou say'st I shall receive
  The thing for which I pray;
Then give me, Lord, Thy Spirit give,
  And take my sins away:
That I may never grieve Thee more,
  Thy blessed Self impart,
And stamp in perfect peace and power
  Thine image on my heart.
