Simple-hearted. Luke 14. 13, 21; Matt. 22. 9, 10

1 When Jesus would his grace proclaim,
  He calls the simple, blind, and lame
  To come and be his guest;
  Such simple folk the world despise;
  Yet simple folk have sharpest eyes,
  And learn to walk the best.

2 They view the want of Jesus’ light,
  Of Jesus’ blood, and Jesus’ might,
  Which others cannot view;
  They walk in Christ, the living Way,
  And fight, and win the well-fought day,
  Which others cannot do.

3 They all declare, I nothing am,
  My life is bound up in the Lamb,
  My wit and might are his;
  My worth is all in Jesus found,
  He is my Rock, my anchor-ground,
  And all my hope of bliss.

4 Such simple soul I fain would be,
  The scorn of man, the joy of thee,
  Thy parlour guest and friend;
  Do make me, Lord, a little child,
  Right simple-hearted, meek and mild,
  And loving to the end.
