Master, how shall I bless Thy name

Master

how shall I bless Thy name

For love so great to me

For sweet enablings of Thy grace

So sov’reign

yet so free

That taught me to obey Thy word

And cast my care on Thee?

No anxious thought upon thy brow

The watching world should see;

No carefulness! O child of God

For nothing careful be!

But cast thou all thy care on Him

Who always cares for thee.

How shall I praise Thee

Savior dear

For this new life so sweet

For taking all the care I laid

At Thy beloved feet

Keeping Thy hand upon my heart

To still each anxious beat?

I long to praise Thee more

and yet

This is no care to me;

If Thou shalt fill my mouth with songs

Then I shall sing to Thee;

And if my silence praise Thee best

Then silent I will be.

Yet if it be Thy will

dear Lord

Oh

send me forth to be

Thy messenger to careful hearts

To bid them taste

and see

How good Thou art to those who cast

All all their care on Thee.
