Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger

Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger
  Of the heart that seeks Thee now;
How my soul hath long been craving
  What Thou only canst bestow.
 
Seeking now, seeking now,
  Let Thy Spirit meet me now.
2
Failure in my walk and witness,
  Failure in my work I see;
Fruitless toil, un-Christlike living,
  Calling forth no praise to Thee.
3
Now to Thee my soul confesses
  All its failure, all its sin;
All the pride, the self-contentment,
  All the “secret faults” within.
4
Save me from myself, my Father,
  From each subtle form of pride;
Lead me now with Christ to Calvary,
  Show me I with Him have died.
5
No more let it be my working,
  Nor my wisdom, love, or power,
But the life of Jesus only,
  Passing through me hour by hour.
6
Let the fulness of Thy Spirit
  Resting on Him cover me.
That the witness borne to others.
  May bring glory, Lord, to Thee.
7
Father, in Thy Son’s Name pleading.
  I believe my prayer is heard;
And I praise Thee for the answer.
  Resting simply on Thy word.
 
Praising now, praising now.
Thou hast answered, Lord, I know.
