Lord in the fullness of my might "I can do everything through him who gives me strength". Phil. 4:13 Lord in the fullness of my might, I would for Thee be strong; While runneth o'er each dear delight, To Thee should soar my song. I would not give the world my heart, And then profess thy love; I would not feel my strength, depart, And then thy service prove. I would not with swift winged zeal On the world's errands go, And labour up the heavenly hill With weary feet and slow. O not for Thee my weak desires My poorer, baser part! O not for thee my fading fires, The ashes of my heart! O choose me in my golden time: In my dear joys have part! DOY tuG" For Thee the glory of my prime, The fullness of my heart!
