Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger

lyricist: F. H. Allen

Lord

Thou knowest all the hunger

Of the heart that seeks Thee now;

How my soul hath long been craving

What Thou only canst bestow.

Seeking now

seeking now

Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Failure in my walk and witness

Failure in my work I see;

Fruitless toil

un-Christlike living

Calling forth no praise to Thee.

Now to Thee my soul confesses

All its failure

all its sin;

All the pride

the self-contentment

All the “secret faults” within.

Save me from myself

my Father

From each subtle form of pride;

Lead me now with Christ to Calvary

Show me I with Him have died.

No more let it be my working

Nor my wisdom

love

or power

But the life of Jesus only

Passing through me hour by hour.

Let the fulness of Thy Spirit

Resting on Him cover me.

That the witness borne to others.

May bring glory

Lord

to Thee.

Father

in Thy Son’s Name pleading.

I believe my prayer is heard;

And I praise Thee for the answer.

Resting simply on Thy word.

Praising now

praising now.

Thou hast answered

Lord

I know.
