More of You

More of a friend like you lord
Perfect in peace, present in perils
More of thy wonder works and word
To save me from all my ills and hills .

More of you savior let me see
Strong to save, steadfast to succor
More of your power to deliver me 
From the sting of sin that’s sour.

More of thy medicine: the blood you shed
Constant in comfort complete to cure
More of the health for which you bled
Let me have in seasons that are purely poor.

More of your arms lord let me feel
Firm in folding, fervent in finding
More of thy grace that brings godly zeal
Let me have when in the sea I’m sinking.
