24. 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."

Refrain
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. [Refrain]

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

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 center of God's will my home. [Refrain]
