XXXIX. Can such poor feeble worms as we

1 Can such poor feeble Worms as we
Praise and adore our Saviour's Name?
Or bring a Tribute Lord to thee?
Or half thy Pow'r and Love proclaim?

2 We stand amaz'd, when we behold
Thy Glory and thy Beauty Lord!
Thy Love and Grace can ne'er be told,
Which thou to Mortals dost afford.

3 Yet Lord, we would attempt thy Praise,
We would exalt thy Holy Name;
Lord, we would walk in thy sweet Ways;
And sing, and tell thy wond'rous Fame.

4 Fain would our Souls mount up to thee,
And Feast forever on thy Love;
And Praise the sacred Deity,
As Angels do that dwell above.
