My Opening Eyes With Rapture See

my opening eyes with rapture see
the dawn of this returning day;
my thoughts, o god, ascend to thee,
while thus my early vows i pay.

i yield my heart to thee alone,
nor would receive another guest:
eternal king, erect thy throne,
and reign sole monarch in my breast.

o bid this trifling world retire,
and drive each carnal thought away;
nor let me feel one vain desire,
one sinful thought, through all the day.

then, to thy courts when i repair,
my soul shall rise on joyful wing,
the wonders of thy love declare,
and join the strains which angels sing.
