How I praise Thee, precious Saviour!

How I praise Thee, precious Saviour! That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou has saved and cleansed and filled me, That I might Thy channel be.

Just a channel, full of blessing, To the thirsty hearts around; To tell out Thy full salvation, All Thy loving message sound.

Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me, A clean vessel in Thine hand; With no power but as Thou givest Graciously with each command.

Witnessing Thy power to save me, Setting free from self and sin; Thou hast bought me to possess me, In Thy fullness, Lord, come in.

Channels only, blessed Master, But with all Thy wondrous power Flowing through us, Thou canst use us Every day and every hour.
