Author: Haweis Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #638 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Submissively, my God,
I all to thee resign,
And bow before thy chast'ning rod;
Nor will I, Lord, repine.
2 Why should my heart complain,
When wisdom, truth, and love
Direct the stroke, inflict the pain,
And point to joys above?
3 How short my suff'rings here!
How needful every cross!
Away with doubt, distrust, and fear,
Nor call my gain my loss.
4 Then give, or take away,
I'll bless thy sacred Name:
Jesus to-day, and yesterday,
And ever, is the same. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; The Unchangeable Truth and Love of Jesus Scripture: Micah 6:9
Submissively, my God
