The Gospel Awakening ‎#165

165. As God Will

1. I will not shrink from "fiery trials,"
Nor murmur when my path seems rough;
By grace I will endure the testing,
Till God shall say, "It is enough."

Refrain:
I will not murmur at the sorrow
That only longer liv'd would be;
The end may come, and that tomorrow,
When God hath wrought His will in me;
And so I whisper, "As God will,"
And in the hottest fire hold still;
And so I whisper, "As God will,"
And trusting to the end hold still.

2. I will not fear the heated "furnace,"
If He therein shall bid me go;
With faith in Him I need not falter,
Nor tremble at its fiery glow. [Refrain]

3. I dare not choose the way I journey,
And if I but behold Him near,
My ill shall seem a "light affliction,"
Which "for a moment" doth appear. [Refrain]
