O humbler than the humblest when
Thou camest down to die,
Give us, for we are sinful men,
Thy own humility.
O higher than the highest now,
Raise us to thine abode;
Though we are from the dust, and thou
One with the eternal God.
O kinder than the kindest, bear
With all our follies still;
And by thy grace our hearts prepare,
To accomplish all thy will.
O holier than the holiest, keep
Those whom thou hast forgiven;
And make us as thy chosen sheep,
Worthy thyself and heaven.
