I Have Called You Friends

(Found here)

One who is all unfit to count
     As scholar in Thy school,
Thou of Thy love hast named a friend —
     O kindness wonderful!

So weak am I, O gracious Lord,
     So all unworthy Thee,
That e’en the dust upon Thy feet
     Outweighs me utterly.

Thou dwellest in unshadowed light,
     All sin and shame above —
That Thou shouldst bear our sin and shame
     How can I tell such love?

~Narayan Vaman Tilak
