Well for him who all things losing

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Anon. Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #57 (1861) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: Well for him who all things losing, E'en himself doth count as nought, Still the one thing needful choosing That with all true bliss is fraught! Well for him who nothing knoweth But his God, whose boundless love Makes the heart wherein it gloweth, Calm and pure as saints above! Well for him who all forsaking Walketh not in shadows vain, But the path of peace is taking Through this vale of tears and pain! Oh that we our hearts might sever From earth's tempting vanities, Fixing them on Him for ever In whom all our fulness lies! Oh that we might Him discover Whom with longing love we've sought, Joining us to Him for ever, For without Him all is nought! Oh that ne'er our eyes might wander From our God, so might we cease Ever o'er our sins to ponder, And our conscience be at peace! Thou abyss of love and goodness, Draw us by Thy cross to Thee, That our senses, soul, and spirit Ever one with Christ may be! Languages: English
