I Am Not Worthy, Holy Lord

lyricist: Henry Baker, 1875
Composer: William Hurst, 1870

I am not wor­thy

ho­ly Lord

That Thou shouldst come to me;

Speak but the word; one gra­cious word

Can set the sin­ner free.

I am not wor­thy; cold and bare

The lodg­ing of my soul;

How canst Thou deign to en­ter there?

Lord

speak

and make me whole.

I am not wor­thy; yet

my God

How can I say Thee nay;

Thee

who didst give Thy flesh and blood

My ran­som price to pay?

O come! in this sweet morn­ing hour

Feed me with food divine;

And fill with all Thy love and pow­er

This worth­less heart of mine.
