Whatever He Would Like

lyricist: E. M. Fergusson, 1899
Composer: Charles Brown

Coming in the name of Je­sus

Grace we seek with one ac­cord

Not to do the things that please us

But the things that please our Lord.

Following Him is our en­dea­vor

To our pro­mise keep­ing true;

Striving still to do what­ev­er

He would like to have us do.

Daily seek­ing strength and guid­ing

Faithful to the Church we love

In the life of trust ab­id­ing

Till we share the life ab­ove;

We will leave the Sav­ior nev­er

We would pledge our­selves anew;

We will strive to do what­ev­er

He would like to have us do.

In our hap­py meet­ing hour

We would al­ways claim a share

Owning Je­sus’ love and pow­er

In a word

a song

a pray­er.

Be our help

dear Lord

for­ev­er;

Nerve our cour­age

bring us thro’

Till we love to do what­ev­er

Thou wouldst like to have us do.
