THE AUTHOR’S OFFERING TO OUR LORD

Now, here is my heart,

JESUS my only hope and sweet love:

Take it forever,

Whether it rejoices or wastes away in painful trials.

O Virgin Queen,

O white lily, and rose without thorn,

With your most pure hand

Offer it yourself, for I labor in vain.

Make it so, that there may stay impressed

JESUS always with the name of MARY,

In the center of my heart,

Until my soul departs, and rests in GOD.
