 Fly far  and  fast  to  Thee,

That by  Thine  arm  defended

I may  deserve  to  be!

Fearful of  mine  own  weakness,

Thee let  me  fear,  that  I

May cease  to  fear  forever

Mid Thy  elect  on  high.

Distrusting self  and  placing

All trust,  dear  Lord  I  in  Thee  —

For sake  of  Thee  obedient,

Caring for  naught  but  Thee,

Poor for  Thy  sake,  O  Jesus!

Look on  me,  that  I  may

Love Thee,  dear  Lord,  and  serve  Thee

More perfectly  each  day.

Call me  and  make  me  hear  Thee!

Oh! call me  to  Thy  breast.

To see  Thee,  and  enjoy  Thee,

And be  forever  blest!

idden God,  devoutly  I  adore  Thee, Truly present  underneath  these  veils: All my  heart  subdues  itself  before  Thee, Since it  all  before  Thee  faints  and  fails.

Not to  sight,  or  taste,  or  touch  be  credit; Hearing only  do  we  trust  secure; I believe,  for  God  the  Son  hath  said  it  — Word of  Truth  that  ever  shall  endure.

On the  cross  was  veiled  Thy  Godhead's  splendor, Here Thy  manhood  lieth  hidden  too; Unto both  alike  my  faith  I  render, And as  sued  the  contrite  thief,  I  sue.
