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!
