Jesus, cast a look on me;

Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

6 Verses Childlike Faith Peace Of God

Verse 1

Jesus, cast a look on me; Give me sweet simplicity; Make me poor, and keep me low, Seeking only Thee to know.

Verse 2

Weaned from all my lordly self, Weaned from all the miser's pelf, Weaned from all the scorner's ways, Weaned from all the lust of praise.

Verse 3

All that feeds my busy pride, Cast it evermore aside; Bid my will to Thine submit, Lay me humbly at Thy feet.

Verse 4

Make me like a little child, Of my strength and wisdom spoiled; Seeing only in Thy light, Walking only in Thy might;

Verse 5

Leaning on Thy loving breast, Where a weary soul may rest; Feeling well the peace of God Flowing from Thy precious blood.

Verse 6

In this posture let me live, And hosannas daily give; In this temper let me die, And hosannas ever cry.
