Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Savior, and can it be
- That Thou should’st dwell with me?
- From Thy high and lofty throne,
- Throne of everlasting bliss,
- Will Thy majesty stoop down
- To so mean a house as this?
- 2.
- I am not worthy, Lord,
- So foul, so self-abhorred,
- Thee, my God, to entertain
- In this poor polluted heart:
- I am a frail sinful man!
- All my nature cries, Depart!
- 3.
- Yet come, Thou heav’nly Guest,
- And purify my breast;
- Come, Thou great and glorious King,
- While before Thy cross I bow;
- With Thyself salvation bring,
- Cleanse the house by entering now.
Lyrics: Charles Wesley, 1745.
