To thee alone in love and sorrow cling?
To thee, the Son of God, the Word Eternal,
So dreadly pure, so infinitely just?
“One unto one”! My God, when I would say it,
’Tis answered me, “Remember thou art dust.”
“One unto one”! O Jesus, meek and loving,
And humbled down to Bethlehem for me,
Humbled to own a human heart and nature,
Jesus, my Saviour, now I come to thee!
I see thee on thy Virgin Mother’s bosom—
