My Petition

Lift me up

oh

heav’nly Fa­ther

Till I feel Thy strength sub­lime;

Let Thy Spir­it be my spir­it

Let me have no will but Thine

Let me have no will but Thine.

Bring in­to my life

oh

Fa­ther

Just the mu­sic of Thy soul;

Make the ra­di­ance of Thy pow­er

All my words and deeds con­trol

All my words and deeds con­trol.

Wake with­in my heart

oh

Giv­er

Of di­vin­est good and gain

A re­sponse for­ev­er quick’n­ing

Into act­ion

love’s re­frain

Into act­ion

love’s re­frain.

Open wide Thy hid­den trea­sure

Priceless more than pearl of sea;

Meet my ear­nest

soul­ful long­ing

For Thy truth

earth’s mys­te­ry

For Thy truth

earth’s mys­te­ry.

Fill my soul with re­ve­la­tion

Yet await­ing hu­man kind;

Teach me of Thy bound­less lov­ing

How the Christ all men may find

How the Christ all men may find.

Breathe thro’ me Thine own per­fect­ion

Till my heart no more shall see

Aught but Thy di­vine ex­press­ion

Of love’s grand eter­ni­ty

Of love’s grand eter­ni­ty.
