I lift my heart to Thee,
And with my heart, my love;
O Christ, remember me,
In Thy fair home above;
And take the gift my offering gives,
A heart that loves Thee while it lives.

I lift my heart to Thee,
No meaner gift be mine,

For Thou didst give to rne
That loving heart of Thine
Yea, love to love responsive glows,
The gift I give Thy love bestows.

I lift my heart to Thee,--
Then I am all Thine own,
To give Thee service free,
And live for Thee alone,-
My will to bend to Thine alway,
My life to serve Thee every day.
