O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
My soul weeps because of grief;
Strengthen me according to Your word.
Remove the false way from me,
and graciously grant me Your law.
I have chosen the faithful way;
I have placed your ordinances before me.
I cling to your testimonies;
O Lord, do not put me to shame!
I shall run the path of your commandments,
For You will enlarge my heart.
