This song is so special to me. I'm making my Confirmation (one of the Roman Catholic rites of Initiation, and the last verse, "here's my heart o take and seal it for thy courts above" perfectly sums Confirmation. I want this song played @ my funeral (even though I'm only 13!)

@mehappy777 I am proud for you. Remember your life is all about Jesus since you belong to Him.

Midway through the third verse there is a line with a wrong word. It's "Come, My Lord, no longer tarry." Otherwise, you're praying for God to be silent, which doesn't make sense, since we, as His creation, want his continual presence...or at least we should. Also, the line before it, "Sovreign" is misspelled. It should either be sov'reign or sovereign.

@tubaboy963 Thank you for pointing these out. These were discovered 5 months ago and earlier comments indicate this to someone called TwilightDancer. It shows on the first page of comments from my view but you may not be able to see the same thing as I do.

[bobf72450]
