I Am Not Worthy Holy Lord

{I Am Not Worthy Holy Lord

GERONTIUS-John Bacchus Dykes

I Am Not Worthy, Holy Lord
}
I Am not worthy, Holy Lord,
That Thou shouldst come to me;
Speak but the Word, one gracious Word
Can set the sinner free.

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.

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?

O come! in this sweet morning hour
Feed me with Food Divine;
And fill with all Thy love and power
This worthless heart of mine.
