Lord, I a sinner
Come to you
Asking for grace
To keep me pure
In thoughts,
In actions,
Ready to meet You
On earth,
In heaven,
Whenever You choose
To end my life
On this temporary earth
And carry my soul
To Your joyful heaven.
Let my lamp be always full
Of the oil of Your will,
My spirit joined to Yours,
Thereby born again
In obedience to Your word,
Never again separated from You
By disobedience so painfully rued,
But loving You
By saying "yes" to You
Rather than to
Myself or any other
Who may oppose Your word.
Your will be done,
Not mine,
Except to honour Thine.
