I will give thanks and sing | B |
My heart is at the secret source | C |
Of every precious thing | B |
Now the frail vessel Thou hast made | D |
No hand but Thine shall fill | E |
For the waters of the Earth have failed | F |
And I am thirsty still | E |
- | |
I thirst for springs of heavenly life | G |
And here all day they rise | H |
I seek the treasure of Thy love | I |
And close at hand it lies | H |
And a new song is in my mouth | J |
To long loved music set | K |
Glory to Thee for all the grace | L |
I have not tasted yet | K |
- | |
Glory to Thee for strength withheld | M |
For want and weakness known | N |
And the fear that sends me to Thy breast | O |
For what is most my own | N |
I have a heritage of joy | P |
That yet I must not see | Q |
But the hand that bled to make it mine | R |
Is keeping it for me | Q |
- | |
There is a certainty of love | I |
That sets my heart at rest | O |
A calm assurance for today | S |
That to be poor is best | O |
A prayer reposing on His truth | T |
Who hath made all things mine | R |
That draws my captive will to Him | U |
And makes it one with Thine | R |
- | |
I will give thanks for suffering now | V |
For want and toil and loss | W |
For the death that sin makes hard and slow | X |
Upon my Savior s cross | W |
Thanks for the little spring of love | I |
That gives me strength to say | S |
If they will leave me part in Him | U |
Let all things pass away | S |
- | |
Sometimes I long for promised bliss | Y |
But it will not come too late | Z |
And the songs of patient spirits rise | H |
From the place wherein I wait | Z |
While in the faith that makes no haste | A2 |
My soul has time to see | Q |
A kneeling host of Thy redeemed | B2 |
In fellowship with me | Q |
- | |
There is a multitude around | C2 |
Responsive to my prayer | D2 |
I hear the voice of my desire | E2 |
Resounding everywhere | D2 |
But the earnest of eternal joy | P |
In every prayer I trace | L |
I see the glory of the Lord | F2 |
On every chastened face | L |
- | |
How oft in still communion known | N |
Those spirits have been sent | G2 |
To share the travail of my soul | H2 |
Or show me what it meant | G2 |
And I long to do some work of love | I |
No spoiling hand could touch | I2 |
For the poor and suffering of Thy flock | J2 |
Who comfort me so much | I2 |
- | |
But the yearning thought is mingled now | V |
With the thankful song I sing | B |
For Thy people know the secret source | C |
Of every precious thing | B |
The heart that ministers for Thee | Q |
In Thy own work will rest | O |
And the subject spirit of a child | K2 |
Can serve Thy children best | O |
- | |
Mine be the reverent listening love | I |
That waits all day on Thee | Q |
With the service of a watchful heart | L2 |
Which no one else can see | Q |
The faith that in a hidden way | S |
No other eye may know | X |
Finds all its daily work prepared | M2 |
And loves to have it so | X |
- | |
My heart is resting O my God | A |
My heart is in Thy care | D2 |
I hear the voice of joy and health | N2 |
Resounding everywhere | D2 |
Thou art my portion saith my soul | H2 |
Ten thousand voices say | S |
And the music of their glad Amen | O2 |
Will never die away | S |
