268--How I Thee, precious Savior,

How I Thee, precious Savior,

268

	1.	How I Thee, precious Savior,
		That Thy love laid hold of me;
		Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,
		That I might Thy channel be.
		Channels only, blessed Master,
		But with all Thy wondrous grace,
		Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
		Every hour in every place.
	2.	Just a channel, full of blessing,
		To the thirsty hearts around;
		To tell out Thy full salvation,
		All Thy loving message sound.
	3.	Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
		A clean vessel in Thine hand;
		With no strength but as Thou givest
		Graciously with each command.
	4.	Witnessing Thy grace to save me,
		Setting free from self and sin;
		Thou hast bought me to possess me,
		In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.
	5.	O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit
		Hearts that full surrender know;
		That the streams of living water
		>From our inner man may flow.
