|
<p>Lord, when I all things would possess,<br>
|
|
I crave but to be Thine;<br>
|
|
O lowly is the loftiness<br>
|
|
Of these desires divine.</p>
|
|
<p>Each gift but helps my soul to learn<br>
|
|
How boundless is Thy store;<br>
|
|
I go from strength to strength, and yearn<br>
|
|
For Thee, my Helper, more.</p>
|
|
<p>How can my soul divinely soar,<br>
|
|
How keep the shining way,<br>
|
|
And not more tremblingly adore,<br>
|
|
And not more humbly pray?</p>
|
|
<p>The more I triumph in Thy gifts,<br>
|
|
The more I wait on Thee;<br>
|
|
The grace that mightily uplifts<br>
|
|
Most sweetly humbleth me.</p>
|
|
<p>The heaven where I would stand complete<br>
|
|
My lowly love shall see,<br>
|
|
And stronger grow the yearning sweet,<br>
|
|
O Holy One! for Thee.</p>
