So weak in loving Thee.
Thy light upon my heart obscure
Unfaithfulness reveals.
My being Thou dost own,
Some parts within would still not yield
To say, “I’m Thine alone.”
How faithfulness should be.
The universe to all declares
Thou lovest faithfully.
Bespeak Thy boundless love;
Its vast dimensions, broad and high,
We’ll never fully prove.
They tell Thy care for me;
Such gentle, kind and tender love
Towards one so harsh towards Thee.
Thy faithfulness displays.
Withstanding all, Thy love’s secure,
Immutable always.
What thorough care I see!
Thy loving care for me abounds
E’en more unceasingly.
I praise with joyful tears;
I’ll love Thee, Lord, with all my heart
Today and all my years.
I fain would learn from Thee,
That with my heart, though weak, I too
Can love Thee faithfully!
