How dare I venture to approach to Thee, O Lord? Art not Thou, O God, my Lord, my Creator, my Redeemer, the King of heaven and earth? And who am I? A poor worm of earth, and, what is yet more unworthy, so often a disobedient and ungrateful sinner against Thee! Of a truth, Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; yet remember, O Lord, that although Thou wast Lord of all, yet didst Thou take upon Thee the form of a servant, and coming unto us didst converse familiarly with publicans and sinners; and lastly didst humble Thyself and become obedient unto death. Let that Thy humility move Thee, I beseech Thee, not to despise me, vile and worthless as I am, but graciously to come unto me, and mercifully to receive me, who come to Thee.
