My Savior, how shall I proclaim

Paul Gerhardt • John Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Job 38:7

Verse 1

My Saviour, how shall I proclaim, How pay the mighty debt I owe? Let all I have, and all I am, Ceaseless to all thy glory show.

Verse 2

Too much to thee I can not give; Too much I can not do for thee; Let all thy love, and all thy grief, Graven on my heart for ever be.

Verse 3

The meek, the still, the lowly mind, Oh, may I learn from thee, my God! And love, with softest pity joined, For those that trample on thy blood!

Verse 4

Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast; Till, loose from flesh and earth, I rise, And ever in thy bosom rest.
