IN ALL THY WORK, O LORD
1. In all Thy work,
O Lord, Thou didst
At Calv'ry cross
once come to rest;
Yet Thou art
working still today,
But in another form
expressed.
2. Thy saving pow'r
Thou still dost show;
Thou still dost
speak, enlighten, guide;
Thou and the Spirit
in one stream
Sweep many in Thy
living tide.
3. Through Him Thy
power's not withheld;
Through Him Thy
working does not cease;
Thou still dost
comfort and command,
Encourage,
strengthen, and release.
4. Since Thou dost
in the Spirit dwell,
His coming means
that Thou hast come,
And His indwelling
is Thine own,
For Thou and He are
truly one.
5. He executes
within my heart
All Thy desires and
Thy demands,
As for the Father
here on earth
Thou hast performed
all His commands.
6. By knowing Him we
know Thyself;
Obeying Him we Thee
obey;
Allowing Him
ourselves to fill,
We're filled with
Thee, O wondrous way!
7. Thou art not far
away in heav'n,
Leaving us here
alone, apart;
But Thou art still
on earth; how grand!
Thou livest right
within my heart.
