O Lord, I am not worthy, That Thou shouldest come to me. But speak the word of comfort, My spirit shall be healed. I'm longing to receive Thee The Bridegroom of my soul. No more by sin to grieve Thee. Or flee Thy sweet control. O Lord. Thou art all holy. The angels Thee adore; How. then ought I sincerely. My wrongs and sins deplore! But when Thou soon wilt enter. My heart. my sinful heart. Then heal me. be my shelter. For Thou my Saviour art. O Lord. how can I thank Thee For such a gift as this? A gift which truly filleth. My soul with heav'nly bliss! I praise Thee. I extol Thee. I love Thee. O my Sire. Till once in joy and glory. In heav'n I'll Thee admire. O Sacrament most Holy. O Sacrament Divine. All praise and all thanksgiving Be every moment Thine. Category: General Share or Bookmark:Press Ctrl + D to bookmark this page

Slightly later publications have used another tune which is simply described as "An old melody" - and many different verses have been added to it.
