Verse 1

O Lord, I am not worthy That Thou should'st come to me,
But speak the words of comfort, My spirit healed shall be.

Verse 2

O Lord, Thou art all holy, The angels Thee adore;
How, then, ought I sincerely My wrongs and sins deplore!

Verse 3

But when Thou soon wilt enter My heart, my sinful heart,
Then heal me, be my shelter, For Thou my Savior art.

Verse 4

O Lord, how can I thank Thee For such a gift as this?
A gift which truly filleth My soul with heav'nly bliss!

Verse 5

I praise Thee, I extol Thee, I love Thee O my Sire,
Till once in joy and glory, In heav'n I Thee admire.
