177. Jesus, gentlest Saviour

1 Jesus, gentlest Saviour!
God of might and power,
Thou Thyself art dwelling
In us at this hour.
Nature cannot hold thee,
Heav'n is all too strait
For thine endless glory
And thy royal state.

2 Out beyond the shining
Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.

3 As men to their gardens
Go to seek sweet flowers,
In our hearts dear Jesus
Seeks them at all hours.
Jesus, gentlest Saviour!
Thou art in us now;
Fill us full of goodness,
Till our hearts o'erflow.
