Jesus, cast a look on me;
|
|
| 1. | 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. |
