O Lord, we would delight in Thee,
And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in every trouble flee,
Our safe, unfailing Friend.
When human cisterns
all are dried,
Thy fulness is the same;
May we with this be satisfied,
And glory in Thy name.
Why should we thirst
for ought below,
While there's a fountain near,
A fountain which doth ever flow
The fainting heart to cheer?
No good in creatures
can be found;
All, all is found in Thee:
We must have all things and abound
Through Thy sufficiency.
Thou that hast made
our heaven secure
Wilt here all good provide;
While Thou art rich,
can we be poor—
Thou who for us hast died?
O Lord, we cast
each care on Thee,
And triumph and adore;
O that our great concern may be
To love and praise Thee more.
