Yet thou the lame didst truly seek,
Who lay long at Bethseda’s pool,
Of many that thee never sought,
Like to the poor Samaritan,
Whom thou unto thy fold has brought,
Even as thou didst the widow of Nain
Most gracious God, didst thou not bid
All that were weary come to thee,
Behold, I come! even overload
With sin, have mercy upon me.
