1 Lord, in Thy presence silent I would be, That in the inmost I to Thee may come; I would not in my own way pray to Thee, But let Thy prayer in me my prayer become. 2 It seems Thou art in heaven hearing me, But right within my spirit Thou dost dwell; It seems that I am praying unto Thee, But really from Thyself the prayers do well. 3 When, Lord, no words my burden can express, My spirit with Thy Spirit deeply groans; Not verbally I then my plea address, But Thou dost pray within with words unknown. 4 I would inhale Thee, Lord, e’en as I breathe, And eat and drink Thee as my life supply. A deeper fellowship with Thee bequeath That Thou express Thyself through me thereby. 5 Here in this fellowship Thy light doth shine, Thy precious blood doth cleanse and make me clean; May I not only, Lord, Thy light enshrine, But may Thou be expressed and clearly seen. 6 Thy oil anoints me here in every way, Anointing Thee within unceasingly; I more decrease, Thou more increase each day, Thus full expression Thou shalt have through me. 7 Myself I open that Thou may flow in; Op’ning myself to others, Lord, flow out; By such a stream, the fellowship within, Thou, Lord, expressed will be my life throughout. hymnal.net/en/hymn.php/h/764
