faithprayerassurance

A devotional hymn by Scottish Congregationalist minister John Hunter (1849–1917), expressing the believer's aspiration to embody Christ's character and the honest confession of falling short of one's ideals.

Verse 1

Dear Jesus, in whose
life I see
all that I would,
but fail to be,

let thy clear light
forever shine,
to shame and guide
this life of mine.

Verse 2

Though what I dream
and what I do
in my weak days
are always two,

help me, oppressed
by things undone,
O thou whose deeds
and dreams were one!
