Lord Jesus, I Worship Thee

Lord, when I cannot adore

Thee in knowledge, in ignorance I will adore Thee.

Lord Jesus, Thou art God, Alone Supreme in absolute

Supremacy. As God I worship Thee.

Thou art Man, Whose is the Human Name supreme above

every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow.

As Man I worship Thee.

Thou hast created all things, and without Thee was not any

thing made that was made. As Creator I worship Thee.

Thou hast become Man, and hast taken the Manhood into

God indissolubly forever and ever. As the Firstborn of every

creature I worship Thee. ,

Thou art the Wisdom of God Whom He possessed in the

beginning of His way. As the Divine Wisdom I worship

Thee.

Thou hast made Thyself man's wisdom. As my only Hope

of wisdom I worship Thee.

Thou art the Word, God and with God. As the Divine Word

I worship Thee.

Thou art the Word speaking to us as never man spake. As

my Teacher of absolute authority I worship Thee.

Thou art the Lord Who hath declared : My ways are

not your ways. Having a good hope because of Thy word I

worship Thee.

Thou art the Way whereby alone man cometh unto the

Father. A wayfarer liable to error, beseeching safeguard, I

worship Thee.

Thou art the King of Heaven, all Whose works are truth. I,

a little one among Thy works, worship Thee.

Thou art the Truth : in Thee mercy and truth are met
together, kindness and truth are shown forth. In the paths of

Thy mercy and of Thy truth I worship Thee.

Thou art the Living God into Whose hands it is a fearful

thing to fall. Yet calling to remembrance the former days,

to-day while it is called to-day I worship Thee.

Thou art the Life. Thou Who hadst power to lay Thy Life

down and power to take it again, Who art Life manifested, and

Who givest Thy flesh for the life of the world, I worship

Thee.

O Thou Who hearest prayer, and unto Whom all flesh shall

come, draw all my brethren and all my sisters and myself

not outcast from their gracious company, to worship Thee.

Amen.
