That thus my spirit more and more
With free ascent to heaven may soar.
The foolish worldly mind expel,
Sole Lord within my mansion dwell;
The shield of faith, my God, bestow,
And break sin’s poison’d shaft in two.
Let every thought and feeling be
Henceforth directed, Lord, to Thee:
Let heart and mind, by Thee possest,
Now seek in Thee alone their rest.
