We consider second order differential equations with real coefficients that are in the limit circle case at infinity. Using the semiclassical Ansatz, we construct solutions (the Jost solutions) of such equations with a prescribed asymptotic behavior for $x\to\infty$. It turns out that in the limit circle case, this Ansatz can be chosen common for all values of the spectral parameter $z$. This leads to asymptotic formulas for all solutions of considered differential equations, both homogeneous and non-homogeneous. We also efficiently describe all self-adjoint realizations of the corresponding differential operators in terms of boundary conditions at infinity and find a representation for their resolvents.
