LORD, THOU KNOWEST ALL THE HUNGER
1. 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.
Refrain
Seeking now,
seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet
me now.
2. Failure in my
walk and witness,
Failure in my work
I see;
Fruitless toil,
un-Christ like living,
Calling forth no
praise to Thee.
3. Now to Thee my
soul confesses
All its failure,
all its sin;
All the pride, the
self-contentment,
All the
"secret faults" within.
4. Save me from
myself, my Father,
From each subtle
form of pride;
Lead me now with
Christ to Calv'ry,
Show me I with Him
have died.
5. No more let it
be my working,
Nor my wisdom,
love, or pow'r,
But the life of
Jesus only,
Passing through me
hour by hour.
6. Let the fullness
of Thy Spirit,
Resting on Him
cover me,
That the witness
borne to others,
May bring glory,
Lord, to Thee.
7. 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.
(Refrain)
Praising now,
praising now,
Thou hast answered,
Lord, I know!
