To practice living You, in You to stay,
Lord, grant me the grace, Your life mine to replace
Two lives one, oh what a sweet embrace.
Divine and human woven utterly
Have mercy on me, that I may be
Joined to You, expressing You daily.
Save me from self and pride and vainglory.
Preserve and keep me, for Your economy,
Live in me, possess me wholly.
Be my salvation, save me constantly
To hold forth Your word, life to others afford;
Shining You, so radiantly, dear Lord.
That I am drunken, You as wine enjoy;
I’d pour out my being, as a drink offering
Upon You, God satisfying.
As lived out righteousness, give me this view.
Lord, clothe and stitch me, with embroidery
Day by day, inwrought Your gold in me.
