Text: | O Lord, I would delight in Thee |
Author: | John Ryland |
Tune: | ST. STEPHEN'S |
1 O Lord, I would delight in Thee,
And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in every trouble flee,
My best, my only Friend.
2 When all created streams are dried,
Thy fulness is the same;
May I with this be satisfied,
And glory in Thy Name!
3 No good in creatures can be found,
But may be found in Thee;
I must have all things, and abound,
While God is God to me.
4 O that I had a stronger faith
To look within the veil,
To credit what my Saviour saith,
Whose word can never fail!
5 He that has made my heaven secure,
Will here all good provide:
While Christ is rich, can I be poor?
What can I want beside?
6 O Lord, I cast my care on Thee;
I triumph and adore:
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please Thee more.
