179. Lord Jesus Christ, we come to Thee

Lord Jesus Christ, we come to Thee,
For that hast deign'd on earth to be
A pious and a loving child,
Whom never sin nor guilt defiled.

We ask but one thing for our lot,
O Lord, deny Thy children not,--
Teach us to rest upon Thy will,
And take Thee for our Pattern still.

Oh put Thy Spirit in our breast,
Help us to learn with childlike rest,
That we may lay the one true ground,
And evermore in Thee be found.
