Anna Laetitia Waring - Though Some Good Things Of Lower Worth

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance. Psalm 16:5. br br Though some good things of lower worth br My heart is called on to resign, br Of all the gifts in heaven and earth, br The greatest and the best is mine br The love of God in Christ made known br The love that is enough alone, br My Father's love is all my own. br br My soul's Restorer, let me learn br In that deep love to live and rest br Let me the precious thing discern br Of which I am indeed possessed. br My treasure let me feel and see, br And let my moments, as they flee, br Unfold my endless life in Thee. br br Let me not dwell so much within br My bounded heart, with anxious heed br Where all my searches meet with sin, br And nothing satisfies my need br It shuts me from the sound and sight br Of that pure world of life and light, br Which has no breadth, or length, or height. br br Let me Thy power, Thy beauty see; br So shall the hopeless labor cease, br And my free heart shall follow thee br Through paths of everlasting peace. br My strength Thy gift, my life Thy care, br I shall forget to seek elsewhere br The wealth to which my soul is heir. br br I was not called to walk alone, br To clothe myself with love and light; br And for Thy glory, not my own, br My soul is precious in Thy sight. br My evil heart can never be br A home, a heritage for me br But Thou canst make it fit for Thee.
