Oh Lord Jesus, lover of my Soul.
He that shines upon my poor heart.
Cleanse me of every ungodly role
that pierces thee like a fiery dart.

Deliver my Soul I beseech thee,
from the deceiver's ravenous jaws.
Cause me to take delight in thy laws,
that I may be eternally free
from guilt and Divine retribution.

My penitent and remorseful state
I pray you willingly consider.
That I may not have to share the fate
of those in eternal damnation.

My life I willingly surrender
to thy loving and caring Lordship.
Seal our lasting relationship
with thy precious and redemptive blood.
All these I fervently ask thee Lord.
