Text: | Delight in God |
1 Grant Lord, I may delight in thee,
And on thy care depend;
To thee in ev'ry trouble flee,
My best, my only friend.
2 When all created streams are dry'd,
Thy fulness is the same;
May I with this be satisfy'd,
And glory in thy name!
3 Why should the soul a drop bemoan
Who has a fountain near,
A fountain which will ever run
With waters sweet and clear?
4 No good in creatures can be found,
But all is found in thee;
I must be blessed, and abound,
While thou art God to me.
5 O that I had a stronger faith
To look within the veil,
To credit what my Saviour saith,
Whose word can never vail!
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.
