On My Knees Before The Great Multitude
On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses,
I offer myself soul and body to Thee,
Eternal Spirit of God.
I adore the brightness of Thy purity,
The unerring keenness of Thy justice,
And the might of Thy love.
Thou art the Strength and Light of my soul.
In Thee I live and move and am.
I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace,
And I pray with all my heart to be kept
From the smallest sin against Thee.
Mercifully guard my every thought
And grant that I may always watch for Thy light
And listen to Thy voice
And follow Thy gracious inspirations.
I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee
And ask Thee by Thy compassion
To watch over me in my weakness.
I implore Thee Adorable Spirit,
Helper of my infirmity,
So to keep me in Thy grace
That I may never sin against Thee.
Give me grace O Holy Ghost,
Spirit of the Father and the Son,
To say to Thee always and everywhere,
"Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth."
Amen.
