Sweet Will of God

My stubborn will at last hath yielded;

I would be Thine

and Thine alone

And this the prayer my lips are bringing

“Lord

let in me Thy will be done.”

Sweet will of God

still fold me closer

Till I am wholly lost in Thee;

Sweet will of God

still fold me closer

Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

I’m tired of sin

footsore and weary

The darksome path hath dreary grown

But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;

I find in Thee my Star

my Sun.

Thy precious will

O conqu’ring Savior

Doth now embrace and compass me;

All discords hushed

my peace a river

My soul a prisoned bird set free.

Shut in with Thee

O Lord

forever

My wayward feet no more to roam;

What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?

The center of God’s will my home.
