Jesu Hail! O God Most Holy

1. Jesu hail! O God most holy,
Gentle Lamb, an Infant lowly;
Born, great God, a human stranger,
Laid within the narrow manger :

Chorus
Might transcending, Weakness blending,
Greatness bending from the sky;
Love unending, man befriending,
God most high.

2. To enrich my desolation,
To redeem me from damnation,
Wrapt in swathing-bands Thou liest,
Thou in want and weakness sighest :
Might transcending, etc.

3. Low abased, where brutes are sleeping,
God's beloved Son is weeping;
Judge supreme, true Godhead sharing,
Sinner's likeness for us wearing!
Might transcending, etc.

4. Jesu, Thine my heart is solely;
Draw it, take it to Thee wholly :
With Thy sacred Fire illume me,
Let it inwardly consume me.
Might transcending, etc.

5. Hence let idle fancies vanish,
Hence all evil passions banish;
Make me like Thyself in meekness,
Bind to Thee my human weakness.
Might transcending, etc.
