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!
