How I praise Thee, precious Savior

How I praise Thee

precious Savior

That Thy love laid hold of me;

Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me

That I might Thy channel be.

Channels only

blessed Master

But with all Thy wondrous grace

Flowing through us

Thou canst use us

Every hour in every place.

Just a channel

full of blessing

To the thirsty hearts around;

To tell out Thy full salvation

All Thy loving message sound.

Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me

A clean vessel in Thine hand;

With no strength but as Thou givest

Graciously with each command.

Witnessing Thy grace to save me

Setting free from self and sin;

Thou hast bought me to possess me

In Thy fulness

Lord

come in.

O Lord

fill now with Thy Spirit

Hearts that full surrender know;

That the streams of living water

From our inner man may flow.
