SS&S 593: ONCE IT WAS THE BLESSING, NOW IT IS THE LORD

SS&S 593: ONCE IT WAS THE BLESSING, NOW IT IS THE LORD

1. Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord;

Once it was the feeling, now it is His Word;

Once His gifts I wanted, now the

Giver own;

Once I sought for healing, now Himself alone.

 

All in all for ever, Jesus will I sing;

Everything in Jesus, and Jesus everything.

 

2. Once 'twas painful trying, now 'tis

perfect trust;

Once a half salvation, now the uttermost;

Once 'twas ceaseless holding, now He

holds me fast;

Once 'twas constant drifting, now my anchor's cast.

 

3. Once 'twas busy planning, now 'tis

trustful prayer;

Once 'twas anxious caring, now He has the care;

Once 'twas what I wanted, now what

Jesus says;

Once 'twas constant asking, now 'tis ceaseless praise.

 

4. Once it was my working, His it hence

shall be;

Once I tried to use Him, now He uses me;

Once the power I wanted, now the

Mighty One;

Once for self I laboured, now for Him alone.

 

5. Once I hoped in Jesus, now I know

He's mine;

Once my lamps were dying, now they brightly shine;

Once for death I waited, now His

coming hail;

And my hopes are anchored safe within the veil.
