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.

Refrain

Channels only, bless­èd Mas­ter,
But with all Thy won­drous pow­er
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
Every day and ev­ery hour.

Just a chan­nel full of bless­ing,
To the thirs­ty hearts around;
To tell out Thy full sal­va­tion
All Thy lov­ing mes­sage sound.

Refrain

Emptied that Thou should­est fill me,
A clean ves­sel in Thy hand;
With no pow­er but as Thou giv­est
Graciously with each com­mand.

Refrain

Witnessing Thy pow­er to save me,
Setting free from self and sin;
Thou who bought­est to pos­sess me,
In Thy full­ness, Lord, come in.

Refrain

Jesus, fill now with Thy Spi­rit
Hearts that full sur­ren­der know;
That the streams of liv­ing wa­ter
From our in­ner self may flow.
