Christology Means of Grace Works of Piety
This only thing do I require, Thou knowst 'tis all my heart's desire, Freely what I receive to give, The servant of thy church to live. After my lowly Lord to go, And wait upon thy saints below, Enjoy the grace to angels given, And serve the royal heirs of heaven. Lord, if I now thy drawings feel, And ask according to thy will, Confirm the prayer, the seal impart, And speak the answer to my heart. Tell me, or thou shalt never go, "Thy prayer is heard, it shall be so." The word hath pass'd thy lips, and I Shall with thy people live, and die.
