How I praise Thee, precious Savior,
that Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,
that I might Thy channel be.
Channels only, blessed Master,
but with all Thy wondrous grace,
flowing through us, Thou canst use us,
every hour in every place.
1.Just a channel, full of blessing,
to the thirsty hearts around;
to tell out Thy full salvation,
All Thy loving message sound.
2. Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
A clean vessel in Thine hand;
with no strength but as Thou givest,
graciously with each command.
3. Witnessing Thy grace to save me,
Setting free from self and sin;
Thou hast bought me to possess me,
In Thy fullness, Lord, come in.
4. O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
that the streams of living water
from our inner man may flow.
