I Thirst, But Not As Once I Did

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11920 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth to share; Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid, That I should seek my pleasures there. 2 It was the sight of Thy dear cross, First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross, The mirth of fools and pomp of kings. 3 I want that grace that springs from Thee That quickens all things where it flows; And makes a wretched thorn, like me, Bloom as the myrtle, or the rose. 4 Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink below the brim; But overflow, and pour me down A living, and life-giving stream! 5 For sure, of all the plants that share The notice of Thy Father’s eye; None proves less grateful to His care, Or yields Him meaner fruit than I.
