[Appear, great God, appear to me]

Wherefore I abhor myself. —xlii. 6.

Appear, great God, appear to me,
That by myself abhorr'd,
Ashamed I may for ever be
Before my glorious Lord:
That only sight can pride abase,
Can force me to submit,
Which makes archangels veil their face,
And tremble at Thy feet.
