Prayers  [duchas:4964358]

Ah!  what gift or present, Jesus, can I bring,
I have nothing worthy of my God and King.
Take my body, Jesus, eyes, ears and tongue,
Never let them, Jesus, help to do thee wrong.
Take my heart and fill it full of love for Thee,
All I  have I give thess, give thyself to me.
