Once It Was the Blessing

Author: A. A. F.; A. B. Simpson Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #143 (1915) Lyrics: 1 Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord; Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word. Once His gift I wanted, Now the Giver own; Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone. 2 Once ’twas painful trying, Now ’tis perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost. Once ’twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; Once ’twas constant drifting, Now my anchor’s cast. 3 Once ’twas busy planning, Now ’tis trustful pray’r; Once ’twas anxious caring, Now He has the care. Once ’twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once ’twas constant asking, Now ’tis ceaseless praise. 4 Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me. Once the pow’r I wanted, Now the Mighty One; Once for self I labored, Now for Him alone. 5 Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He’s mine; Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine. Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; And my hopes are anchored, Safe within the veil. Languages: English Tune Title: [Once it was the blessing]
