 1  How I praise Thee, precious Savior,

       That Thy love laid hold of me;

    Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,

       That I might Thy channel be.

 

Channels only, blessed Master,

   But with all Thy wondrous grace,

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

   Every hour in every place.

 

 2  Just a channel, full of blessing,

       To the thirsty hearts around;

    To tell out Thy full salvation,

       All Thy loving message sound.

 

Channels only, blessed Master,

   But with all Thy wondrous grace,

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

   Every hour in every place.

 

 3  Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,

       A clean vessel in Thine hand;

    With no strength but as Thou givest

       Graciously with each command.

 

Channels only, blessed Master,

   But with all Thy wondrous grace,

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

   Every hour in every place.

 

 4  Witnessing Thy grace to save me,

       Setting free from self and sin;

    Thou hast bought me to possess me,

       In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.

 

Channels only, blessed Master,

   But with all Thy wondrous grace,

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

   Every hour in every place.

 

 5  O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit

       Hearts that full surrender know;

    That the streams of living water

       From our inner man may flow.

 

Channels only, blessed Master,

   But with all Thy wondrous grace,

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

   Every hour in every place.
