<p>My Savior, on the word of truth<br>
In earnest hope I live;<br>
I ask for all the precious things<br>
Thy boundless love can give.<br>
I look for many a lesser light<br>
About my path to shine;<br>
But chiefly long to walk with Thee,<br>
And only trust in Thine.</p>
<p>In holy expectation held,<br>
Thy strength my heart shall stay,<br>
For Thy right hand will never let<br>
My trust be cast away.<br>
Yea, Thou hast kept me near Thy feet,<br>
In many a deadly strife,<br>
By the stronghold of hope in Thee,<br>
The hope of endless life.</p>
<p>Thou knowest that I am not blest<br>
As Thou wouldst have me be,<br>
Till all the peace and joy of faith<br>
Possess my soul in Thee<br>
And still I seek &#8217;mid many fears,<br>
With yearnings unexpressed,<br>
The comforts of Thy strengthening love,<br>
Thy soothing, settling rest.</p>
<p>It is not as Thou wilt with me,<br>
Till, humbled in the dust;<br>
I know no place in all my heart<br>
Wherein to put my trust.<br>
Until I find, O Lord, in Thee,<br>
The Lowly and the Meek,<br>
That fullness which Thy own redeemed<br>
Go nowhere else to seek.</p>
<p>Then, O my Savior, on my soul,<br>
Cast down, but not dismayed,<br>
Still be Thy chastening, healing hand<br>
In tender, mercy laid.<br>
And while I wait for all Thy joys,<br>
My yearning heart to fill,<br>
Teach me to walk and work with Thee,<br>
And at Thy feet sit still.</p>
