Sweet Will Of God

Sweet Will Of God

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.
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.
Thy precious will, O conqu’ring Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me; All discords hushed, my peace a river,My soul a prisoned bird set free.
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.—Leila N. Morris (1862–1929)
