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, and Christ be all in all.
3 Anoint me with thy heavenly grace, and seal me for thine own, that I may see thy glorious face, and worship near thy throne.
4 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.
