Grace Abounding

By Arthur W. Spaulding

ARTHUR W. SPAULDING
Not worthy, Lord, to touch thy garment's hem! Not worthy that thy power shouldst thrill me through! How should I feel the pulse of life anew, Whom life hath looked on only to condemn?
Not worthy, Lord, that thou shouldst pass my door! My craft hath led me with the violent; Apart from thee my youthful strength was spent; And now for others can I ask for more?
Not worthy, Lord, that thou shouldst call my name! Thine own, I once professed, I have profaned; The ardor of my early love hath waned; Not favor, Lord, is due to me, but blame.
But ah, that touch, that look, have healed my soul! That word, far speeding, hath its wonders wrought! That honor given, all my powers hath bought! Not half, as once, dear Lord; I give the whole!
Sanitarium, Cal.
