<p>Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs<br>
With trembling hand that from Thy table fall,<br>
A weary, heavy laden sinner comes<br>
To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call.</p>
<p>I am not worthy to be thought Thy child,<br>
Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board;<br>
Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled;<br>
I only ask one reconciling word.</p>
<p>One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look,<br>
And I could face the cold, rough world again;<br>
And with that treasure in my heart could brook<br>
The wrath of devils and the scorn of men.</p>
<p>And is not mercy Thy prerogative,<br>
Free mercy, boundless, fathomless, divine?<br>
Me, Lord, the chief of sinners, me forgive,<br>
And Thine the greater glory, only Thine.</p>
<p>I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd&#8217;st me come and rest;<br>
I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierc&egrave;d feet;<br>
Thou bidd&#8217;st me take my place, a welcome guest,<br>
Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat.</p>
<p>My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,<br>
My prayer can only lose itself in Thee;<br>
Dwell Thou forever in my heart, and there,<br>
Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.</p>
