153. Dear Lord, Each Selfish Thought We Think

1 Dear Lord, each selfish thought we think
Puts us afar from thee;
Into our own dark depths we sink,
Where heaven can never be.

2 Teach us to know thee as thou art;
To give as thou hast given!
O show us how the loving heart
May make this world a heaven!
