672  COMFORT IN TRIALS — By the Lord's Love

1. Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art;
  That, that alone, can be my soul's true rest;
  Thy love, not mine, bids fear and doubt depart,
  And stills the tempest of my tossing breast.
2. It is Thy perfect love that casts out fear;
  I know the voice that speaks the It is I,
  And in these well—known words of heavenly cheer
  I hear the joy that bids each sorrow fly.
3. Thy Name is Love! I hear it from yon Cross;
  Thy Name is Love! I read it in yon tomb:
  All meaner love is perishable dross,
  But this shall light me through time's thickest gloom.
4. It blesses now, and shall for ever bless;
  It saves me now, and shall for ever save;
  It holds me up in days of helplessness,
  It bears me safely o'er each swelling wave.
5. 'Tis what I know of Thee, my Lord and God,
  That fills my soul with peace, my lips with song;
  Thou art my health, my joy, my staff, my rod;
  Leaning on Thee, in weakness I am strong.
6. More of Thyself, Oh, show me, hour by hour;
  More of Thy glory, O my God and Lord;
  More of Thyself in all Thy grace and power;
  More of Thy love and truth, Incarnate Word.
