\n“O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire you with our whole heart,
\nthat so desiring, we may seek you;
\nand so finding, we may love you;
\nand loving you, we may hate those sins
\nfrom which you have redeemed us;
\nfor the sake of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Amen.” (Anselm of Canterbury, A.D. 1109)<\/p>\n
\nSaid” (Chorus), “The Jesus Way”<\/p>\n
\nOne:<\/em>\u00a0Let us respond with David’s words:
\nAll:<\/em>\u00a0Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
\n\u00a0<\/em>One:\u00a0<\/em>Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
\nAll:\u00a0<\/em>Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
\nOne:\u00a0<\/em>Then will I teach transgressors thy ways,\u00a0and sinners shall be converted unto thee,\u00a0even as I am
\ndelivered from my guilt.
\n\u00a0<\/em>All:\u00a0<\/em>Now, Lord, allow me to open my lips,\u00a0and my mouth will fill with your praises.\u00a0Praise will be my sacrifice
\nto you,\u00a0for you delight in the humble and honest heart.<\/p>\n
