A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)
Psalms 119:141 I am small and despised: Yet do not I forget thy precepts.
"Day of Small Things"
1. LORD, canst Thou look on one so small,
And worthless as I am?
Wilt Thou permit a worm to call
Upon Thy holy name?
2. I'm small in faith, and hope, and love,
And small in my own eyes;
How small my zeal and knowledge prove!
And how my foes despise!
3. But though I'm small, Thy love is great;
On that my soul relies;
Pity a helpless sinner's state,
And listen to my cries.
4. If Jesus' righteousness be mine,
'Twill make me truly great;
Clad in this robe, my soul shall shine,
Within His temple gate.
