"Unite my heart to fear Thy name. I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart" (Psalm 86:11,12). "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
Lord, You know how hard to tame
My wayward heart can often be.
Unite my heart to fear Your name
For only then shall I be free.
So let the harness of Your fear
And the bridle of Your love
Direct affections that will steer
My heart toward the things above.
So whether peace or whether strife,
Whether joy or whether pain,
Lord, let the mixture of this life,
All the more my heart constrain.
Unite my heart to give You praise!
Harness my heart to love You more!
Lord, fix my heart upon Your ways,
And my straying heart, restore!
