Oh how shall I a feeble worm,
The arduous task fulfil;
How speak for Jesus’ glorious name,
Or half his goodness tell.
Whilst I his wondrous power confess,
I tremble and adore,
Grateful if he my heart has gained,
Estranged from God before.
Weak is my faith, and weaker still;
My knowledge will be found;
But he in whom I humble trust,
Can make his grace abound.
Oh ye his saints who taste his love,
And deeper mysteries know,
Instruct my soul, and show my feet
The way I ought to go.
With you in sacred friendship joined,
Our Jesus to adore,
my soul would never wish to part,
But serve him evermore.
