All my pray­er and praise sug­gest,
Blest Je­sus, near Thy side.
That no vain thought might ev­er rest
High in the heav­ens Thou hast Thy throne;
I can­not tell thee whence it came,
O kin­dle, Lord most ho­ly,
Where an­gels and arch­an­gels dwell;
Canst Thou stoop again, yet low­er,

with­in my breast

Great Spir­it of all grace;
So that in deed and word and thought,
end
But this I know, there fills my soul
To do in spir­it low­ly
Would make that Heav’n as dark as hell.
Evil things are there be­fore Thee;
