Now, O my God, thou hast my soul;
No longer mine but thine I am;
Guard thou thine own, possess the whole;
Cheer it with hope, with love inflame:
To thee, the Lord of earth and skies,
I come a living sacrifice.
Send down thy likeness from above,
And this let my adorning be:
Clothe me with wisdom, patience, love,
With lowliness and purity,—
Than gold and pearls more precious far,
And brighter than the morning star.
Lord, arm me with thy Spirit’s might,
Since I am called by thy great name:
In thee let all my thoughts unite,
Of all my works be thou the aim;
Thy love attend me all my days,
And all my pleasure be thy praise!
