Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #646 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord! when I all things would possess,
I crave but to be thine;
O, lowly is the loftiness
Of these desires divine!
2 Each gift but helps my soul to learn
How boundless is thy store;
I go from strength to strength, and yearn
For thee, my Helper, more.
3 How can my soul divinely soar,
How keep the shining way,
And not more tremblingly adore,
And not more humbly pray?
4 The more I triumph in thy gifts,
The more I wait on thee,
The grace that mightily uplifts
Most sweetly humbleth me.
5 The heaven where I would stand complete
My lowly love shall see,
And stronger grow the yearning sweet,
My blessed Lord, for thee. Topics: The Christian Godly Life Tune Title: CADDO
