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 ev'ry sin be crucified,

And Christ be all in all!

Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,

And seal me for Thine own,

That I may see Thy glorious face,

And worship near 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 ev'ry thought, and work, and word,

To Thee be ever given:

Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,

And death the gate to heaven!
