Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.
1 Pet. 3:15
O could I find, from day to day,
A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away
While leaning on his word.
2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I’ll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more.
