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.

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