To Strengthen My Love

I believe, O Lord, but strengthen my faith.
Heart of Jesus, I love You; but increase my love.
Heart of Jesus, I trust in You; 

but give greater vigor to my confidence.
Heart of Jesus, I give my heart to You; 

but enclose it in You that it may never be separated from You.
Heart of Jesus, I am all Yours; take care of my promise 

so that I may be able to put it in practice, 

even unto the complete sacrifice of my life.
