Laudes Domini ‎#963

963. "Take my Heart"

1 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,
Let thy will on earth be done;
Praise by all to thee be given,
Gracious Lord of earth and heaven!

2 Vilest of the fallen race,
Lo, I answer to thy call;
Meanest vessel of thy grace,
Grace divinely free for all;
Lo, I come to do thy will,
All thy counsel to fulfill.

3 If so poor a worm as I
May to thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive;
Claim me for thy service, claim
All I have, and all I am.

4 Take my soul and body's powers,
Take my memory, mind and will,
All my goods, and all my hours,
All I know and all I feel,
All I think, or speak, or do;
Take my heart, but make it new!
