250. O Lord! We Would Delight in Thee | C.M. |
| by Ryland, 1777 |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | O Lord! we would delight in Thee, |
| And on Thy care depend; |
| To Thee in every 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 | Why should we thirst for aught below, |
| While there's a fountain near; |
| A fountain which doth ever flow, |
| The fainting heart to cheer? |
|
| 4 | No good in creatures can be found, |
| All, all is found in Thee; |
| We must have all things and abound, |
| Through Thy sufficiency. |
|
| 5 | 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! |
|
| 6 | 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. |
