A deep song is ringing within the deep

the beat of it is our own hearts

Our Lord's at His anvil, hammering glory

Into our innermost part!

His passion shall never pass

The fire of His Spirit shall last

Take the heart that has beaten for vanity's sake

And make it to beat for Thee til it breaks!

Lord hear me- draw near me!

Protect me, direct me

Defend me, attend me

Be Thou the Lord of My heart!

Ward me and guard me

Hold me, enfold me!

Break me and make me

Conformed to the Lord of my Heart!

Lord hear me- draw near me!

Protect me, direct me

Defend me, attend me

Be Thou the Lord of My heart!

Ward me and guard me

Hold me, enfold me!

Break me and make me

Conformed to the Lord of my Heart!
