Montani Slowly with devotion 1. My God, accept my heart this day, And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2. Before the cross of Him who dies, Behold I prostrate fall; Let ev'ry sin be crucified, Let Christ be all in all. 3. Anoint me with Thy heav'nly grace, Adopt me for Thine own, That I may see Thy glorious face And worship at Thy throne. 4. May the dear blood, once shed for me, My best atonement prove; That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love! 5. Let ev'ry thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever giv'n Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heav'n!

God of mercy and compassion! Look with pity upon me; Father! Let me call Thee Father, 'Tis Thy child returns to Thee. Refrain Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again. 2. By my sins I have abandoned Right and claim to Heav'n above, Where the Saints rejoice forever In a boundless sea of love. 3. See our Saviour, bleeding, dying, On the Cross of Calvary; To the Cross my sins have nailed Him, Yet He bleeds and dies for me.

When the last dread hour approaching Fills my guilty soul with fear; All my sins rise up before me, All my virtues disappear. Jesus! Jesus! Turn not Thou in anger from me, Mary, Joseph, then be near. 3. Mary, thou canst not forsake me, Virgin mother undefiled; Thou didst not abandon Jesus Dying, tortued and reviled. Jesus! Jesus! Send Thy Mother to console me: Mary, help Thy guilty child!
