‘Tis A Point I Long To Know,
Oft It Causes Anxious Thought;
Do I Love The Lord, Or No?
Am I His, Or Am I Not?
If I Love, Why Am I Thus?
Why This Dull And Lifeless Frame?
Hardly, Sure, Can They Be Worse,
Who Have Never Heard His Name!
Could My Heart So Hard Remain,
Prayer A Task And Burden Prove;
Every Trifle Give Me Pain,
If I Knew A Savior’s Love?
When I Turn My Eyes Within,
All Is Dark, And Vain, And Wild;
Filled With Unbelief And Sin,
Can I Deem Myself A Child?
If I Pray, Or Hear, Or Read,
Sin Is Mixed With All I Do;
You That Love The Lord Indeed,
Tell Me: Is It Thus With You?
Yet I Mourn My Stubborn Will,
Find My Sin, A Grief, And Thrall;
Should I Grieve For What I Feel,
If I Did Not Love At All?
Could I Joy His Saints To Meet,
Choose The Ways I Once Abhorred,
Find, At Times, The Promise Sweet,
If I Did Not Love The Lord?
Lord, Decide The Doubtful Case!
Thou Who Art Thy People’s Sun;
Shine Upon Thy Work Of Grace,
If It Be Indeed Begun.
Let Me Love Thee More And More,
If I Love At All, I Pray;
If I Have Not Loved Before,
Help Me To Begin Today.
