To do Thy will I seek, Lord

To do Thy will I seek

Lord

Thy holy word t’obey

To shun all idle speech

Lord

And turn from cares mundane.

Attract me more each day

Lord

And nearer draw to Thee

To see Thy glorious face

Lord

And closely walk with Thee.

I choose Thy way to follow

Though stormy blasts surround;

Though there be troubles

sorrow

Thy grace is more profound.

In life’s pursuit I lack

Lord

Not minding things above;

Oh

keep me

bring me back

Lord;

Immerse me in Thy love.

Thy cross I’m gladly bearing

Face for Thy kingdom set;

Though suff’ring

tears

I’m sharing

Thy hand upholds me yet.

Life’s journey soon is ending;

That City soon I’ll see;

In Father’s bosom resting—

How full that joy will be!

Thy glory

soon unveiled

Lord—

Oh

’tis for this I yearn!

Thy promises ne’er fail

Lord;

Thou swiftly wilt return.

Oh

let me press e’er higher

Not ling’ring here below

My gaze transfixed e’er skyward

My heart with Thee aglow!
