XVIII: I lift my heart to Thee

I lift my heart to Thee, And with my heart, my love; O Christ, remember me, In Thy fair home above; And take the gift my offering gives, A heart that loves Thee while it lives.

I lift my heart to Thee, No meaner gift be mine, For Thou didst give to rne That loving heart of Thine Yea, love to love responsive glows, The gift I give Thy love bestows.

I lift my heart to Thee,-- Then I am all Thine own, To give Thee service free, And live for Thee alone,- My will to bend to Thine alway, My life to serve Thee every day.
