Most Holy God! Poem by Dr John Celes

Most holy God! O God of holiness!
Fountain of love and infinite mercy!
O God who loves the state of sinlessness!
Help me obey your Commandments Holy.

Many a time, Lord, I had gone astray
From your meadow by sin, into the vale
Of darkness, dangers, disgrace, disarray;
From ruin of my soul, you kept me hale.

Fill up, this vessel Lord with grace to brim,
And let your tenets help it overflow;
With all my heart, I wish to follow Him –
To whom I surrender my heart and bow!
