CHANNELS ONLY, BLESSED MASTER

How I praise thee precious saviour,

That thy love laid hold on me,

Thou has saved and cleansed and filled me,

That I might thy channel be.

Channels only, blessed master,

But with all thy wondrous power,

Flowing through us thou canst use us,

Every day and every hour.

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 thy hand,

With no power as thou givest;

Graciously with each command.

 

Witnessing thy power to save me;

Setting free from self and sin;

Thou has bought me to possess me;

In thy fullness, Lord come in.

 

Jesus, fill now with thy Spirit,

Hearts that full surrender know,

That the streams of living water,

From our inner man may flow.
