Draw all our thoughts to Heaven above,
Where love fulfils the soul's desire.

All for Thee, O Heart of Jesus

HOW sweet it is to feel, dear Lord
  That Thou wilt surely see
Each work, or thought, or act of mine
  That may be done for Thee!

That when I try with pure intent
  To serve, to please, to love Thee,
Thy watchful Heart each effort knows.
  Thy blessing rests above me.

Empty my soul of all desire
  Man's idle praise to seek,
Hide me in Thee, for Thou dost know
  How frail I am — and weak.

Take Thou my all, since for so long
  Thy providence has sought me,
Make me Thine own since at such cost
  Thy precious blood has bought me.

Live, Jesus, live, so live in me,
  That all I do be done by Thee,
And grant that all I think and say
  May be Thy thoughts and words to-day.
