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 heav’n­ly 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 giv’n—
Then life shall be Thy ser­vice, Lord,
And death the gate of Heav’n!
