My Savior on the word of truthA
In earnest hope I liveB
I ask for all the precious thingsC
Thy boundless love can giveD
I look for many a lesser lightE
About my path to shineF
But chiefly long to walk with TheeG
And only trust in ThineF
-
In holy expectation heldH
Thy strength my heart shall stayI
For Thy right hand will never letJ
My trust be cast awayI
Yea Thou hast kept me near Thy feetK
In many a deadly strifeL
By the stronghold of hope in TheeG
The hope of endless lifeL
-
Thou knowest that I am not blestM
As Thou wouldst have me beG
Till all the peace and joy of faithN
Possess my soul in TheeG
And still I seek mid many fearsO
With yearnings unexpressedM
The comforts of Thy strengthening loveP
Thy soothing settling restM
-
It is not as Thou wilt with meG
Till humbled in the dustM
I know no place in all my heartM
Wherein to put my trustM
Until I find O Lord in TheeG
The Lowly and the MeekQ
That fullness which Thy own redeemedM
Go nowhere else to seekQ
-
Then O my Savior on my soulR
Cast down but not dismayedM
Still be Thy chastening healing handM
In tender mercy laidM
And while I wait for all Thy joysS
My yearning heart to fillT
Teach me to walk and work with TheeG
And at Thy feet sit stillT
