See, Lord, thy meanest servant set

Verse 1
See, Lord, thy meanest servant set
Humbly attentive at thy feet,
Thy welcom will to prove;
Help me to chuse the better part,
And teach my inexperienc’d heart
The lessons of thy love.

Verse 2
Thou only knowst what is in man
Me, Saviour, to myself explain
And true repentance give;
Bid me from sin this moment cease
And then I follow after peace
And in thy presence live.

Verse 3
Author of faith, the grace bestow
Thro’ which I may my Saviour know,
And feel thy blood applied,
In Thee my Lord and God believe
And by thy hands and feet perceive
Jehovah crucified!

Verse 4
Me let thy dying love constrain
To love my loving Lord again
And walk in all thy ways,
And never from thy footsteps move
Till call’d to meet Thee from above,
I see thy heavenly face.
