Jesus, gentlest Savior,
God of might and power,
Thou thyself art dwelling
With us at this hour.
|
|
Nature cannot hold thee,
Heaven is all too strait
For thine endless glory
And thy royal state.
|
|
Out beyond the shining
Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
|
|
Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.
|
|
Jesus, gentlest Savior,
Thou art with us now;
Fill us with thy goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.
|
|
296
Multiply our graces;
Give us love and fear,
And, dear Lord, the chiefest,
Grace to persevere!
|
|
O how can we thank thee
For a gift like this,
Gift that truly maketh
Heaven's eternal bliss?
