Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Judgment Day; Sin; Prayer


Lord, what have I to offer? sickening fear
And a heart-breaking loss.
Are these the cross Thou givest me? then dear
I will account this cross.

If this is all I have, accept even this
Poor priceless offering,
A quaking heart with all that therein is,
O Thou my thorn-crowned King.

Accept the whole, my God, accept my heart
And its own love within:
Wilt Thou accept us and not sift apart?
''" Only sift out my sin.
