MY ALL IN ALL.

O STEADFAST love! that never tires, Inconstant though I be, To-day my yearning soul aspires To lose itself in Thee.
O matchless grace! that hath no bound, In largess more and more; I, through Thy ceaseless bounty crowned, Yet further gifts implore.
O heart of strength! that can not faint, How close so'er I cling, My utter wants is all my plaint, My weakness all I bring.
O gentleness that wearies not! O tenderness of Christ! Earth has no holier, dearer spot Than where the Lord keeps tryst.
O sweetness in the midst of pain! O rest beyond relief! O pierced hand I clasp again! O Friend of friends the chief!
O light, and love, and joy, and hope! A beggar though I be, Heaven's gates before my vision ope, I fain would climb to Thee.
