[Straiten'd in God we cannot be]
When the vessels were full, the oil stayed.
—iv. 6.
Straiten'd in God we cannot be,
No bounds His power and bounty know,
His grace is an exhaustless sea,
Which flows, and shall for ever flow;
And if its course suspended seem,
The hindrance is in us, not Him.
No bounds His power and bounty know,
His grace is an exhaustless sea,
Which flows, and shall for ever flow;
And if its course suspended seem,
The hindrance is in us, not Him.
All in ourselves the straitness lies,
Our faith, and not His promise, fails,
He blesses us with fresh supplies
Of joy out of salvation's wells;
And when our heart with joy runs o'er,
Enlarges, and still gives us more.
Our faith, and not His promise, fails,
He blesses us with fresh supplies
Of joy out of salvation's wells;
And when our heart with joy runs o'er,
Enlarges, and still gives us more.
