To My Humble Supplication

To my hum­ble sup­pli­ca­tion

Lord

give ear and ac­cep­ta­tion;

Save Thy serv­ant

that hath none

Help nor hope but Thee alone.

Send

O send

re­liev­ing glad­ness

To my soul op­pressed with sad­ness

Which

from clog of earth set free

Winged with zeal

flies up to Thee.

To Thee

rich in mer­cy’s trea­sure

And in good­ness with­out mea­sure

Never fail­ing help to those

Who on Thy sure help re­pose.

Heavenly tu­tor

of Thy kind­ness

Teach my dull­ness

guide my blind­ness

That my steps Thy paths may tread

Which to end­less bliss do lead.
