Hymns for Children, 28

Cover'd with conscious shame,
And grieved, O Lord, I am,
Praise to most unworthy me
That my fellow-worms should give
Praise belongs to none but Thee,
Praise let God alone receive.

Shall I, His creature, I,
By sinful robbery,
Take the honour and esteem
To my glorious Maker due?
No; I leave it all to Him,
Him, from whom my life I drew.

Father, accept Thine own
Through Jesus Christ Thy Son:
Honour, glory, power is Thine,
Mine (if Thou vouchsafe the grace)

With that heavenly choir to join,
In Thine everlasting praise.
