Henceforth let every deed and thought
Into thy service, Lord, be brought;
Draw me to Thee, and grace bestow,
To wean me from the joys below.
O Holy Ghost! thou fire of love,
My slothful will inflaming,
Thy work to do, thy will to prove,
Let me be ever aiming:
Forgive me, that my wayward mind
So oft to sin has been inclin’d;
