E1:Je_sus, gentle_st Sa_viour,/God of might and power,/Thou thy_self art dwell_ing/With us at this hour.
E2:Na_ture can_not hold thee,/Heav'n is all too strait/For thine end_less glo_ry/And thy roy_al state.
E3:Out bey_ond the shin_ing/Of the farth_est star,/Thou art ev_er stretch_ing/In_fi_nite_ly far.
E4:Yet the hearts of chil_dren/Hold what worlds can_not,/And the God of won_ders/Loves the low_ly spot.
E5:As men to their gar_dens/Go to seek sweet flowers,/In our hearts dear Je_sus/Seeks them at all hours.
E6:Je_sus, gentle_st Sa_viour,/Thou art with us now;/Fill us with thy good_ness/Till our hearts o'er_flow.
E7:Pray the prayer with_in us/That to Heav’n shall rise;/Sing the song that an_gels/Sing a_bove the skies.
E8:Mul_ti_ply our gra_ces,/Give us love and fear,/And, dear Lord, the chief_est,/Grace to per_se_vere.
E9:O how can we thank Thee/For a gift like this,/Gift that tru_ly make_th/Heav'n's e_ter_nal bliss?
E10:Ah! when wilt Thou al_ways/Make our hearts Thy home?/We must wait for Heav_en/Then the day will come.
E11:Now at least we’ll keep Thee/All the time we may/But Thy grace and bless_ing/We will keep al_way./
