Heart Longings

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
I WANT the faith of a little child, With a humble spirit, meek and mild; And I know ’tis the voice of the Shepherd true Which in blessed compassion for me and you Is calling us forth from our doubt and sin, And binding our confidence fast to him.
I want the love of my Saviour kind To shine on all of the lost I find; And e’en the desire to abound in grace Comes itself from a vision of his dear face That, in tender devotion to you and me, Beholds us in mercy through Calvary.
I want in the upper room to bide, To press through confession to his dear side, To hear in the music of his sweet voice A daily commission, so to rejoice That service for him is an earnest given Of bliss that awaits in the joy of heaven.
