We thank Thee, Lord,
for weary days
When desert springs were dry,
And first we knew
what depth of need
Thy love could satisfy.
Days when beneath
the desert sun,
Along the toilsome road,
O'er roughest ways
we walked with One,
That One the Son of God.
We thank Thee
for that rest in Thee
The weary only know,
That perfect wondrous sympathy
We only learn below.
The sweet companionship of One
Who once the desert trod:
The glorious fellowship with One
Upon the throne of God.
We know Thee
as we could not know
Through heaven's golden years;
We there shall see
Thy glorious face ---
Here understand Thy tears!
And here in peace,
with Thee we go
Where Thou, our Shepherd, trod,
Still, learning through
our need below
Depths of the heart of God.
