Gloria Deo ‎#685

685. Jesus, Gentlest Saviour

1 Jesus, gentlest Saviour,
God of might and pow’r,
Thou Thyself art dwelling
In us at this hour.
Out beyond the shining
Of the furthest star
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
Nature cannot hold thee,
Heav’n is all too strait
For Thine endless glory
And Thy royal state.

2 Jesus, gentlest Saviour,
Thou art in us now;
Fill us full of goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.
Multiply our graces,
Chiefly love and fear,
And, dear Lord! the chiefest—
Grace to persevere.
Pray the pray’r within us,
That to heav’n shall rise:
Sing the Song that angels
Sing above the skies.
