Laudes Domini ‎#617

617. "Lord, I believe"

1 Yes, I do feel, my God, that I am thine;
Thou art my joy,--myself, mine only grief;
Hear my complaint, low bending at thy shrine,--
"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."

2 Unworthy even to approach so near,
My soul lies trembling like a summer's leaf;
Yet, oh, forgive! I doubt not, though I fear,
"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."

3 True, I am weak, ah! very weak; but then
I know the source whence I can draw relief;
And, though repulsed, I still can plead again,--
"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."

4 Oh, draw me nearer; for, too far away,
The beamings of thy brightness are too brief;
While faith, though fainting, still has strength to pray,--
"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
