59. Father, What can to Thee be Given

Verse 1

Father, what can to Thee be given?

For all Thy mercies blest;

For riches of Thy glorious grace,

And for the bliss of rest?

 

Verse 2

My weary soul doth pant for Thee,

In dry and thorny land;

And in the howling wilderness

I find Thy guiding Hand.

 

Verse 3

Thou lovest me with love unknown,

When no one can console,

And, like the apple of Thine eye,

Preservest Thou my soul.

Verse 4

Thou leadest me, and Thou alone,

In paths Thou knowest best;

I trust Thee when I cannot trace

The way to future rest.

 

Verse 5

Within Thy hand I place my own,

And thus my path pursue,

Content to walk with Thee alone

Till glory fills my view.
