C.M. [1421]St. Stephen: William Jones, 1789 Matthew Bridges, 1848 My God, accept my heart this day, And make it always thine, That I from thee no more may stray, No more from thee decline. Before the cross of him who died, Behold, I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all. Anoint me with thy heavenly grace And seal me for thine own; That I may see thy glorious face, And worship near thy throne. Let every thought, and work, and word, To thee be ever given; Then life shall be thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven! Amen. |
