338. Sweet Will of God

1 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."

Chorus:
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.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 Thy precious will, O conquering Saviour,
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird, set free. [Chorus]

4 Shut in with thee, O Lord, forever,
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from thee my soul can sever?
The centre of God’s will my home. [Chorus]
