HYMN.
How dare I in thy courts appear,
Or raise to thee my voice!
I only serve thee, Lord, with fear,
With trembling I rejoice.
Or raise to thee my voice!
I only serve thee, Lord, with fear,
With trembling I rejoice.
I have not all forgot thy word,
Nor wholly gone astray;
I follow thee, but oh, my Lord,
So faint, so far away!
Nor wholly gone astray;
I follow thee, but oh, my Lord,
So faint, so far away!
That thou wilt pardon and receive
Of sinners even the chief,
Lord, I believe,—Lord, I believe;
Help thou mine unbelief!
Of sinners even the chief,
Lord, I believe,—Lord, I believe;
Help thou mine unbelief!
