Write Your Blessed Name

Sun 9 Nov 2003 23:50:38

Write Your blessed name, O Lord, upon my heart / There to remain so indelibly engraved / That no prosperity / That no adversity / shall ever move me from your love.

Be to me a strong tower of defense / A comforter in tribulation, a deliv'rer in distress / And a faithful Guide to the courts of heav'n / to the courts of heav'n / Through the many temptations / and dangers / of this life.

O Jesu, my only Savior!

Write Your blessed name, O Lord, upon my heart / There to remain so indelibly engraved / That no prosperity / That no adversity / shall ever, ever, ever move me from your love.
