Classic Poem

In that I have so greatly failed Thee, Lord,
Have grace!
And in Thy outer courts deny me not
A place!

So little of fair work for Thee have I
To show;
So much of what I might have done, I did
Not do.

Yet Thou hast seen in me at times the will
For good,
Although so oft I did not do all that
I would.

Thou knowest me through and through, and yet Thou canst
Forgive.
Only in hope of Thy redeeming grace
