I place an offering at thy shrine, From taint and blemish clear, Simple and pure in its design, Of all that I hold dear. | I yield thee back thy gifts again, Thy gifts which most I prize; Desirous only to retain The notice of thine eyes. | But if, by thine adored decree, That blessing be denied; Resigned and unreluctant, see My every wish subside. | Thy will in all things I approve, Exalted or cast down; Thy will in every state I love, And even in thy frown. | |
