For the eternal plan to give me rest,

In vain the sage's thoughts I scan;

How poor and blind is man.

And longs for light whereby to see;
And, like a weary child, would come,
O Father, unto thee. Topics: Atonement Accepted Scripture: John 6:68 Used With Tune: FLEMMING

Alone can make my life complete,
With tears I bring that life to Thee,

Yet, Thee unknown, this golden wealth
Is direful poverty.

With human love more rich and rare;
But never finds my heart its peace,
Unless Thyself art there.

The precious boon of love’s caress,
Without Thy tender words and touch,
Leave only restlessness.
