Hymns of the Lutheran Church

111 My God, accept my heart this day

1 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. 2 Before the cross of Him who died, Behold I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, Let Christ be all in all! 3 Anoint me with Thy Spirit's grace, And seal me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne! 4 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! 5 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!
