[Me Thou know'st my gracious God]

Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou, &c. —xxi. 17.

Me Thou know'st my gracious God,
Better than myself I know:

126

Thou hast shed Thy love abroad,
If I taste that heaven below:
If the grace I truly prove,
Ignorant of its degree,
Whether more or less I love,
Lord I leave it all to Thee.
Me Thou know'st; let that suffice,
All my thoughts to Thee appear:
Happy, if Thy glorious eyes
See with smiles my love sincere!
Only let me labour on,
Like the Shepherd good endure
Till I lay the body down,
Witness thus, my love is pure!
