I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown

I thank Thee

Lord

that Thou hast shown

And I begin to see

What Thou canst be to all Thine own

What they may be to Thee;

If only they will yield Thee all

And trustingly obey Thy call.

How wonderful! I never knew

That I might trust Thee so;

That Thou wouldst be so much to me.

In all the way I go

That every need Thou wouldst supply.

And all my longings satisfy.

I take Thee as my keeper now

And I commit to Thee

My soul

my way

my works

my cause.

In Thy sole charge to be;

And my deposit

Thou

I know

Wilt guard secure from every foe.

I take Thee for my peace

O Lord.

My heart to keep and fill

Thine own great calm

amid earth’s storms

Shall keep me always still;

And as Thy kingdom doth increase

So shall Thine ever-deep’ning peace.

I take Thee as my wisdom too

For wisdom’s sum Thou art;

Thou

who dost choose the foolish things.

Set me henceforth apart

That I may speak and work for Thee

As Thou shalt work and speak in me.

I take Thee

Lord

to be my all.

Since all Thou art is mine;

I nothing have

and nothing am;

That nothing

Lord

is Thine.

Thou shalt be everything to me

In all things my sufficiency.
