Thou Who Givest of Thy Gladness | An unknown Hymn

Thou Who Givest of Thy Gladness | An unknown Hymn With references to (LUKE 15:23,24) and Written in the 1700's by Gerhard Tersteegen in Germany.
Thou who givest of Thy gladness
Till the cup runs o'er
Cup whereof the pilgrim weary
Drinks to thirst no more
Not a-nigh me, but within me
Is Thy joy divine;
Thou, O Lord, hast made Thy dwelling
In this heart of mine.
Need I that a law should bind me
Captive unto Thee?
Captive is my heart, rejoicing
Never to be free.
Ever with me, glorious, awful,
Tender, passing sweet,
One upon whose heart I rest me,
Worship at His Feet.
With me, wheresoe'er I wander,
That great Presence goes,
That unutterable gladness,
Undisturbed repose.
Everywhere the blessed stillness
Of His Holy Place
Stillness of the love that worships
Dumb before His Face.
To Thy house, O God my Father,
Thy lost child has come:
Led by wandering lights no longer,
I have found my home.
Over moor and fen I tracked them
Through the midnight blast,
But to find the Light eternal
In my heart at last.
