Master, how shall I bless Thy name
|
|
| 1. | Master, how shall I bless Thy name |
| | For love so great to me, |
| | For sweet enablings of Thy grace, |
| | So sov'reign, yet so free, |
| | That taught me to obey Thy word, |
| | And cast my care on Thee? |
| 2. | No anxious thought upon thy brow |
| | The watching world should see; |
| | No carefulness! O child of God, |
| | For nothing careful be! |
| | But cast thou all thy care on Him |
| | Who always cares for thee. |
| 3. | How shall I praise Thee, Savior dear, |
| | For this new life so sweet, |
| | For taking all the care I laid |
| | At Thy beloved feet, |
| | Keeping Thy hand upon my heart |
| | To still each anxious beat? |
| 4. | I long to praise Thee more, and yet |
| | This is no care to me; |
| | If Thou shalt fill my mouth with songs |
| | Then I shall sing to Thee; |
| | And if my silence praise Thee best, |
| | Then silent I will be. |
| 5. | Yet if it be Thy will, dear Lord, |
| | Oh, send me forth to be |
| | Thy messenger to careful hearts, |
| | To bid them taste, and see |
| | How good Thou art to those who cast |
| | All, all their care on Thee. |
