I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #321 (1917) Topics: Blood of Christ; Christ Preciousness of Christ; Longing For Christ; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art all in all to me, And perfect strength in weakness Is theirs who lean on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe and hush and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."

Stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, and make me love thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel messenger, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King? All, all thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind; I see thy cross; there teach my heart to cling: oh let me seek thee and oh let me find. 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to face the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the baptism of the heaven descended Dove, my heart an altar and thy love the flame.
