So weak and frail am I:

That perfect as Thou art,

So I deficient am in every part.

Thou art all-wise, all-good, all-great, divine,

Yea, Thou art God: eternity is Thine;

While I, a thing of clay,

The creature of a day,

Pass shadow-like, a breath, that comes and flees away.

My God, I know my sins are numberless,

More than I can recall to memory
