My Heart’s Prayer (McLean)

Dear Lord

in­crease my faith

I pray

While on this earth I roam;

Oh

ban­ish ev­ery doubt away

And guide me safe­ly home.

Guide me home

guide me home

Guide me safe­ly home.

Oh

ban­ish ev­ery doubt away

And guide me safe­ly home.

Oh

give me 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 to Thee;

Oh

help me yield

this ve­ry hour

My life and all to Thee.

To yield the whole

and not a part

Is my most ear­nest pray­er;

Come

Thou

and cleanse my fro­ward heart

And reign for­ev­er there.

Cleanse my heart

cleanse my heart

Reign for­ev­er there;

Come

Thou

and cleanse my fro­ward heart

And reign for­ev­er there.

Should any­thing e’er seem to stand

Between Thy heart and mine

Spare not the chast­en­ing of Thy hand

Till I am whol­ly Thine.

Wholly Thine

whol­ly Thine

Till I’m whol­ly Thine.

Spare not the chast­en­ing of Thy hand

Till I am whol­ly Thine.

Then

when on earth my work is past

And I have reached the goal

Oh

bear me to my home at last

A hum­ble

grate­ful soul.

Bear me home

bear me home

To my heav­en­ly home;

Oh

bear me to my home at last

A hum­ble

grate­ful soul.

A palm of vic­to­ry I’ll bear

Of vic­to­ry 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.
