The New Christian Hymnal ‎#436

436. I Am Not Worthy, Holy Lord

1. I am not worthy, holy Lord,
That Thou shouldst come to me;
Speak but the word: one gracious word
Can set the sinner free.

2. I am not worthy; cold and bare
The lodging of my soul;
How canst Thou deign to enter there?
Lord, speak, and make me whole.

3. I am not worthy; yet, my God,
How can I say Thee nay;
Thee, Who didst give Thy flesh and blood
My ransom price to pay?

4. O come! in this sweet morning hour
Feed me with food divine;
And fill with all Thy love and pow'r
This worthless heart of mine.
