I Dared Not Hope That Thou Wouldst Deign To Come
And Make This Lowly Heart Of Mine Thy Home,
That Thou Wouldst Deign, O King Of Kings, To Be
Even For One Hour A Sojourner In Me;
Yet Art Thou Always Here To Help, And Bless,
And Lift The Load Of My Great Sinfulness.
I Dared Not Ever Hope For Such A Guide
To Walk With Me My Faltering Steps Beside,
To Help Me When I Fall, And When I Stray
Constrain Me Gently To The Better Way;
Yet Art Thou Always At My Side To Be
A Counselor And A Comforter To Me.
I Do Not Always Go Where Thou Dost Lead,
I Do Not Always Thy Soft Whispers Heed;
I Follow Other Lights, And, In My Sin,
I Vex With Many A Slight My Friend Within:
Yet Thou Dost Not, Though Grieved, From Me Depart,
But Guardest Still Thy Place Within My Heart.
