505. 7s. M. C. Wesley.

The Simplicity of Christ.

1Lord! that I may learn of thee,

Give me true simplicity;

Wean my soul, and keep it low,

Willing thee alone to know.

2Of my boasted wisdom spoiled,

Docile, helpless as a child;

Only seeing in thy light,

Only walking in thy might.

3Then infuse the living grace,

Truthful soul of righteousness;

Knowledge, love divine, impart,--

Life eternal to my heart.
