Our Springs are all in Thee

Our Springs Are All in Thee
From:Things New and Old
 – Things New and Old: Volume 17

As pilgrims and as strangers

We tread the desert way,

In conscious weakness, leaning

On God, our strength and stay.

Though ofttimes long and dreary

The way may seem to be, Yet, Lord,

Thy strength and love is ours,

And we can joy in Thee.

Though everything should fail us,

Still we can count on Thee;

Thou art the ever faithful One, -

Our springs are all in Thee.

'Tis thus in Thee confiding

We tread the desert way,

Proving Thy love and faithfulness

So constant day by day.

The wilderness is barren, -

A place where drought abides;

But our resources are in Thee,

Our need Thy love supplies.

We know Thou wilt sustain us

Until the journey's o'er,

Then we shall meet with

Thee above And praise

Thee evermore.

May 26th, 1874. L. W.
