Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKILMNOAP| Lord I am weak and worthless better fit | A |
| To grovel in the dust a worm of earth | B |
| Than wear Thy holy image which I do | C |
| But daily with defilement desecrate | D |
| Long suffering God in mercy infinite | E |
| That thou did'st not long since have cut me off | F |
| But still dost keep me in the place of hope | G |
| Weak worthless wicked is this heart of mine | H |
| But Thou O Lord art all in all to me | I |
| For Thou art strong Thy power is supreme | J |
| The God of might from Thee all strength is sprung | K |
| And Thou hast vanquished man's great Enemy | I |
| And by Thy strength I too may vanquish him | L |
| And thus be worthy washed from sin to wear | M |
| The holy image of my Maker God | N |
| Then Lord O Lord give unto me Thy strength | O |
| I know Thou wilt for Thou hast promised it | A |
| Omnipotent Thy name and love Thine attribute | P |
