Praying for Humility. Luke 22. 61, 62; Matt. 5. 3

1 Jesus, cast a look on me;
  Give me sweet simplicity;
  Make me poor, and keep me low,
  Seeking only thee to know.

2 [Weanèd from my lordly self,
  Weanèd from the miser’s pelf,
  Weanèd from the scorner’s ways,
  Weanèd from the lust of praise.]

3 All that feeds my busy pride,
  Cast it evermore aside;
  Bid my will to thine submit;
  Lay me humbly at thy feet.

4 Make me like a little child,
  Of my strength and wisdom spoiled,
  Seeing only in thy light,
  Walking only in thy might.

5 Leaning on thy loving breast,
  Where a weary soul may rest;
  Feeling well the peace of God
  Flowing from thy precious blood.

6 In this posture let me live,
  And hosannas daily give;
  In this temper let me die,
  And hosannas ever cry.
