HOME-COMING by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER

First Line: SHRIVE ME OF MY SINS, DEAR HEART
Last Line: SHRIVE ME OF MY SINS, DEAR HEART!

Shrive me of my sins, Dear Heart:
Give me of the Bread and Wine;
Bid the waste and weight depart,
Bid the best in me renew;
By the love that makes you mine, --
By the God that loves in you,
Shrive me of my sins, Dear Heart!
