521--I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,

I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,

521

	1.	I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,
		And I begin to see,
		What Thou canst be to all Thine own,
		What they may be to Thee;
		If only they will yield Thee all,
		And trustingly obey Thy call.
	2.	How wonderful! I never knew
		That I might trust Thee so;
		That Thou wouldst be so much to me,
		In all the way I go,
		That every need Thou wouldst supply,
		And all my longings satisfy.
	3.	I take Thee as my keeper now,
		And I commit to Thee
		My soul, my way, my works, my cause,
		In Thy sole charge to be;
		And my deposit, Thou, I know
		Wilt guard secure from every foe.
	4.	I take Thee for my peace, O Lord.
		My heart to keep and fill,
		Thine own great calm, amid earth's
		Shall keep me always still;
		And as Thy kingdom doth increase,
		So shall Thine ever-deep'ning peace.
	5.	I take Thee as my wisdom too,
		For wisdom's sum Thou art;
		Thou, who dost choose the foolish things,
		Set me henceforth apart,
		That I may speak and work for Thee
		As Thou shalt work and speak in me.
	6.	I take Thee, Lord, to be my all,
		Since all Thou art is mine;
		I nothing have, and nothing am;
		That nothing, Lord, is Thine.
		Thou shalt be everything to me,
		In all things sufficiency.
