1 Jesus, gentlest Saviour,
God of might and power,
Thou thyself art dwelling
With us at this hour.
2 Nature cannot hold thee,
Heav'n is all too strait
For thine endless glory
And thy royal state.
3 Out beyond the shining
Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
4 Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.
5 Jesus, gentlest Saviour,
Thou art with us now;
Fill us with thy goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.
6 Multiply our graces,
Give us love and fear,
And, dear Lord, the chiefest,
Grace to persevere.
Amen.
