1 All Souls of Saints that ever were, Who did true grace possess, Were filled by thee, and yet we see There's ne'er a drop the less.
1 All Souls of Saints that ever were, Who did true grace possess, Were fill'd by thee, and yet we see There's ne're a drop the less.
2 Great Vessels, Lord, thy Churches be, Yet all these thou dost fill; A gracious measure they all have, According to thy will.
3 A bigger Vessel we espy Thou empty wilt anon; And fill it full of grace likewise Before that thou hast done.
4 This Vessel, Lord, is the whole Earth That now abounds with sin; Thou wilt it empty o'er a while, And fill it full again.
