Behold a sinner, dearest Lord,
Encourag'd by thy gracious word,
Would venture near to seek that bread,
By which thy children here are fed.
Do not the humble suit deny,
Of such a guilty wretch as I;
But let me feed on crumbs, tho’ small,
Which from thy bounteous table fall.
I am a sinner, Lord, I own;
By sin and guilt I am undone;
Yet will I wait, and plead, and pray,
Since none are empty sent away.
