Jesus, cast a look on me; Give me sweet simplicity; Make me poor, and keep me low, Seeking only Thee to know. |
2 |
Weaned from all my lordly self, Weaned from all the miser's pelf, Weaned from all the scorner's ways, Weaned from all the lust of praise. |
3 |
All that feeds my busy pride, Cast it evermore aside; Bid my will to Thine submit, Lay me humbly at Thy feet. |
4 |
Make me like a little child, Of my strength and wisdom spoiled; Seeing only in Thy light, Walking only in Thy might; |
5 |
Leaning on Thy loving breast, Where a weary soul may rest; Feeling well the peace of God Flowing from Thy precious blood. |
6 |
In this posture let me live, And hosannas daily give; In this temper let me die, And hosannas ever cry. |
