Jesus, gentlest Savior, <br />God of might and power, <br />thou thyself art dwelling <br />in us at this hour. <br /> <br />Nature cannot hold thee, <br />heaven is all too strait <br />for thine endless glory <br />and thy royal state. <br /> <br />Out beyond the shining <br />of the furthest star <br />thou art ever stretching <br />infinitely far. <br /> <br />Yet the hearts of children <br />hold what worlds cannot, <br />and the God of wonders <br />loves the lowly spot. <br /> <br />Jesus, gentlest Savior, <br />dwelling in us now, <br />fill us full of goodness <br />till our hearts o'erflow. <br /> <br />Multiply our graces, <br />chiefly love and fear, <br />and, dear Lord, the chiefest, <br />grace to persevere.<br /><br />Frederick William Faber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jesus-gentlest-savior/
