Methodist-Hymns-159
1: ONE who is all unfit to count
As scholar in Thy school,
Thou of Thy love hast named a friend-
O kindness wonderful!
2: So weak I am, O gracious Lord,
So all unworthy Thee,
That e’en the dust upon Thy feet
Outweighs me utterly.
3: Thou dwellest in unshadowed light,
All sin and shame above-
That Thou shouldst bear our sin and shame,
How can I tell such love?
4: .Ah, did not He the heavenly throne
A little thing esteem,
And not unworthy for my sake
A mortal body deem?
5: When in His flesh they drove the nails,
Did He not all endure?
What name is there to fit a life
So patient and so pure?
6: So, Love itself in human form,
For love of me He came;
I cannot look upon His face
For shame, for bitter shame.
7: If there is aught of worth in me
It comes from Thee alone;
Then keep me safe, for so, O Lord,
Thou keepest but Thine own.
