I Pray Thee! I Pray Thee! O Father Almighty,
The Gift Of Thy Spirit To Me Now Impart;
I Long To Be Holy, And Fit For Thy Service;
O Grant He May Ever Abide In My Heart.

I Pray Thee! I Pray Thee! O Father Almighty,
Now List To My Pleading, And Grant My Request,
That In Each Endeavor I’ll Honor Thee Fully,
Inspired By Thy Promise To Honor; I’ll Rest.

I Pray Thee! I Pray Thee! O Father Almighty,
To Take From Me Wholly All Sinful Desire;
I Come In My Weakness, For Strength I Entreat Thee;
Baptize Me, O Father, With Thy Sacred Fire!
