Author: Gaskell Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #34 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O God! who knowest how frail we are Lyrics:
O God! who knowest how frail we are,
How soon the thought of good departs;
We pray that Thou wouldst feed the fount
Of holy yearning in our hearts.
Let not the choking cares of earth
The precious springs of life o’ergrow;
But, ever guarded by Thy love,
Still purer may their waters flow.
To Thee, with sweeter hope and trust,
Be every day our spirits given;
And may we, while we walk on earth,
Walk more as citizens of heaven.
