How I praise Thee, precious Saviour, That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou has saved and cleansed and filled me,
That I might Thy channel be.
Channels Only, blessed Master, But with all Thy wondrous power
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour.
2 Just a channel, full of blessing, To the thirsty hearts around;
To tell out Thy full salvation, All Thy loving message sound.
3 Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me; A clean vessel in Thine hand;
With no power but as Thou givest, Graciously with each command.
4 Witnessing Thy power to save me, Setting free from self and sin;
Thou hast bought me to possess me. In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.
5 Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water From our inner man may flow.
