The New Christian Hymnal ‎#220

220. I Am Not Worthy

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.

Refrain:
Not worthy, not worthy
That Thou shouldst come to me;
Speak but the word; one gracious word,
And 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. [Refrain]

3 O come! in this sweet sacred hour
Feed me with food divine;
And fill with all Thy love and pow;r
This worthless heart of mine. [Refrain]
