I pray Thee Lord, Your Love to own,
Ere I'm reduced to earth and bone,
For by Your Word and only may
My home with wanting's lee portray
Those hopes and hues that I doth fear,
No other, but for one to hear.
Do fashion her, a soul to seem
That dusts, her cleansing touch redeem.
To show my corners into light,
To steal my darkness from the night.
Her's be I and we be Thine,
My Lord, hath me a Valentine.
