Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) ‎#551

551. My God, accept my heart this day

1 My God, accept my heart this day,
and make it yours alone;
no longer let my footsteps stray,
from your belovèd Son.

2 Before the cross of him who died,
in awe and shame I fall;
let every sin be crucified,
and Christ be all in all.

3 Anoint me with your heavenly grace
and seal me as your own,
that I may see your glorious face
and worship at your throne.

4 Let every thought and work and word,
to you be ever given;
then life shall be your service, Lord,
and death the gate of heaven.

5 All glory to the Father be,
the Spirit and the Son;
all love and praise eternally
to God the Three-in-One.
