Tune: Louvan
(\'Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face\')
Based on a prayer by St Ambrose (c.339 - 397AD)
************
O Lord, who has mercy on all do take
Away from me my sins, clean within make
Mercifully kindle in me I pray
The Holy Spirit\'s fire for every day
And take away from me hard heart of stone
Give me a heart of flesh, your words be sown
In it, a heart to love and adore you
To be my only God, holy and true
A heart to delight in you, choose your way
To follow and enjoy you every day
And too through each night here my guide still be
In Christ\'s name I ask, hear my humble pleas
