My Heart's Prayer

Verse 1

Dear Lord, increase my faith, I pray, While on this earth I roam; Banish my ev’ry doubt away, And guide me safely home. Guide me home, guide me home, Guide me safely home; Banish my ev’ry doubt away, And guide me safely home.

Verse 2

Give me the faith to trust Thy pow’r, E’en where I cannot see; The faith to yield this very hour, My life, my all, to Thee. All to Thee, all to Thee, Life and all the Thee; Help me to yield, this very hour, My life and all to Thee.

Verse 3

To yield the whole and not a part, Is my most earnest pray’r; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there. Cleanse my heart, cleanse my heart, Feign forever there; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there.

Verse 4

Should anything e’er seem to stand, Between Thy heart and mine, Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine. Wholly Thine, wholly Thine, Till I’m wholly Thine; Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine.

Verse 5

Then, when on earth my work is past, And I have reach’d the goal, Oh, bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul. Bear me home, bear me home, To my heav’nly home; Oh bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul.

Verse 6

A palm of victory I’ll bear, Of vict’ry over sin; And I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in. Tell them there, tell them there, Jesus took me in; Oh, I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in.
