"Lord, fix in my heart..." from OFFICIUM EUCHARISTICUM [Anglican Patrimony]

+

Lord, fix my Heart so firmly on thy everlasting Joys, 

that nothing in this World may ever hinder my pursuits of them, 

and let this Days Performances some ways advance my assurance of them, 

that so when I return to my Earth, 

I may lie down in sure and certain hopes to be transplanted 

into those Mansions where all Tears shall be wiped from mine Eyes, 

and live eternally with my Savior J E S U S. Amen, Amen.

Glory be to God on High.
