Hymn of Thanksgiving | |||||

- What shall I render unto thee, O Lord
For all the gifts thy bounty doth accord?
Naught can I offer save my love alone,
Ah let it, Lord my thankless past atone. - What is my love? nay, what indeed my heart ?
That I should dare to offer thee apart.
Take it , O Lord I wholy give to thee,
My love, my heart, my soul, my entity. - Take what is thine, for thou hast given me
My life with all its glorious destiny.
Or bid me live that I may spend my days,
O Sacred heart, in showing thy praise. - What are my goods? as nothing in thy sight,
For all belong to thee, O Lord by right.
To thee their use I humbly dedicate;
My life, my all, to thee I consecrate.
