Words

When, my Saviour, shall I bePerfectly resigned to thee?Poor and vile in my own eyes,Only in thy wisdom wise;

Only thee content to know,Ignorant of all below;Only guided by thy light,Only mighty in thy might?

Fully in my life expressAll the hights of holiness;Sweetly let my spirit proveAll the depths of humble love.
