243. O Lord, we would delight in Thee

1 O Lord, we would delight in Thee,
And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in ev'ry trouble flee,
Our safe unfailing Friend.

2 When human cisterns all are dried,
Thy fullness is the same;
May we with this be satisfied,
And glory in Thy name.

3 No good in creatures can be found,
All, all is found in Thee;
We must have all things and abound,
Through Thy sufficiency.

4 Thou that hast made our heaven secure
Wilt here all good provide;
While Christ is rich, can we be poor--
Christ who for us has died?

5 O Lord, we cast each care on Thee,
And triumph and adore;
Oh that our great concern may be
To love and praise Thee more!
