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 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!
