Enough.
I
I am so weak, dear Lord, I cannot standOne moment without Thee!
But oh! the tenderness of Thine enfolding,
And oh! the faithfulness of Thine upholding,
And oh! the strength of Thy right hand!
That strength is enough for me!
II
I am so needy, Lord, and yet I knowAll fulness dwells in Thee;
270
Supplies and fills, in overflowing measure,
My least, my greatest need; and so
Thy grace is enough for me!
III
It is so sweet to trust Thy word alone:I do not ask to see
The unveiling of Thy purpose, or the shining
Of future light on mysteries untwining:
Thy promise-roll is all my own,—
Thy word is enough for me!
IV
The human heart asks love; but now I knowThat my heart hath from Thee
All real, and full, and marvellous affection,
So near, so human; yet divine perfection
Thrills gloriously the mighty glow!
Thy love is enough for me!
V
There were strange soul-depths, restless, vast, and broad,Unfathomed as the sea;
An infinite craving for some infinite stilling;
But now Thy perfect love is perfect filling!
Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God,
Thou, Thou art enough for me!
