Matthew 15:26: I Here beneath Thy feet confess

I Here beneath Thy feet confess
Mine universal sinfulness;
Thy harshest word is true,
Nothing as of desert I claim,
A dog, and not a child I am,
And hell is all my due.

Forgiveness is the children's bread,
And let them first with grace be fed
With full felicity,
With true celestial bread supplied:
And when they all are satisfied
Enough remains for me.
