Unfruitfulness

Verse 1

Long have I sat beneath the sound Of thy salvation, Lord; But still how weak my faith is found, And knowledge of Thy Word!

Verse 2

My Hope, my Portion, and my God, How little art Thou known By all the judgments of Thy rod, And blessings of Thy throne!

Verse 3

How cold and feeble is my love How negligent my fear! How low my hope of joys above! How few affections there!

Verse 4

Great God, Thy sovereign power impart To give Thy Word success; Write Thy salvation in my heart, And make me learn Thy grace.

Verse 5

Show my forgetful feet the way That leads to joys on high; There knowledge grows without decay, And love shall never die.
