my god accept my heart this day

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,
let christ be all in all.

anoint me with thy heavenly grace,
adopt me for thine own,
that i may see thy glorious face,
and worship at thy throne.

may the dear blood once shed for me
my blest atonement prove
that i from first to last may be
the purchase of thy love!

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.
