If So Poor a Worm as I

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1745
Composer: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1752

Father

Son and Ho­ly Ghost

One in Three

and Three in One

As by the ce­les­ti­al host

Let Thy will on earth be done;

Praise by all to Thee be giv­en

Glorious Lord of earth and Heav’n!

Vilest of the fall­en race

Lo! I an­swer to Thy call

Meanest ves­sel of Thy grace

(Grace di­vine­ly free for all)

Lo

I come to do Thy will

All Thy coun­sel to ful­fill.

If so poor a worm as I

May to Thy great glo­ry live

All my act­ions sanc­ti­fy

All my words and thoughts re­ceive;

Claim me for Thy serv­ice

claim

All I have

and all I am.

Take my soul and bo­dy’s pow­ers

Take my me­mo­ry

mind

and will

All my goods

and all my hours

All I know

and all I feel

All I think

and speak

and do;

Take my heart—but make it new.

Now

O God

Thine own I am

Now I give Thee back Thine own;

Freedom

friends

and health

and fame

Consecrate to Thee alone;

Thine I live

thrice hap­py I

Happier still

for Thine I die.

Father

Son and Ho­ly Ghost

One in Three

and Three in One

As by the ce­les­ti­al host

Let Thy will on earth be done;

Praise by all to Thee be giv­en

Glorious Lord of earth and Heav­en.
