Hymns of the Kingdom of God ‎#313

313. Lord of might, and Lord of glory

1 Lord of might, and Lord of glory,
On my knees I bow before Thee;
With my whole heart I adore Thee;
Great Lord,
Listen to my cry, O Lord!

2 Groping dim, and bending lowly,
Mortal vision catcheth slowly
Glimpses of the pure and holy;
Now, Lord,
Open Thou mine eyes, O Lord!

3 In the deed that no man knoweth,
Where no praiseful trumpet bloweth,
Where he may not reap who soweth,
There, Lord,
Let my heart serve Thee, O Lord!

4 In the work that no gold payeth,
Where he speedeth best who prayeth,
Doeth most who little sayeth,
There, Lord,
Let me work Thy will, O Lord!

5 In His name who meek and lowly,
Died to make poor sinners holy,
Stumbling oft, and creeping slowly,
Great Lord,
Guide me by Thy truth, O Lord!
