EN 2868 Lord, When I All Things Would Possess
Matt.6.20
Versi Version 1
1
Lord, when I all things would possess,
I crave but to be Thine;
O lowly is the loftiness
Of these desires divine.
2
Each gift but helps my soul to learn
How boundless is Thy store;
I go from strength to strength, and yearn
For Thee, my Helper, more.
3
How can my soul divinely soar,
How keep the shining way,
And not more tremblingly adore,
And not more humbly pray?
4
The more I triumph in Thy gifts,
The more I wait on Thee;
The grace that mightily uplifts
Most sweetly humbleth me.
5
The heaven where I would stand complete
My lowly love shall see,
And stronger grow the yearning sweet,
O Holy One! for Thee.
