1. How I praise thee, precious Saviour,
    That Thy love laid hold of me;
    Thou has sav'd and cleans'd and filled me,
    That I might Thy channel be.

    CHORUS

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

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

3.  Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
     A clean vessel in Thine hand;
     With no pow'r but as Thou givest,
    Graciously with each command.

4. Witnessing Thy power to save me,
    Setting free from self and sin;
    Thou halt bought me to possess me,
     In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.

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