Thou Sweet Beloved Will of God
"That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Rom 12:2
VERSE 1
Thou sweet beloved will of God,
My anchor ground, my fortress hill,
My spirit's silent, fair abode,
In thee I hide me, and am still.
VERSE 2
O Will, that willest good alone,
Lead Thou the way, Thou guidest best:
A little child, I follow on,
And trusting, lean upon Thy breast.
VERSE 3
Oh, lightest burden, sweetest yoke!
It lifts, it bears my happy soul,
It giveth wings to this poor heart;
My freedom is Thy grand control.
VERSE 4
Upon God's will I lay me down,
As child upon its mother's breast;
No silken couch, nor softest bed,
Could ever give me such deep rest.
VERSE 5
Thy wonderful grand will, my God,
With triumph now I make it mine;
And faith shall cry a joyous, Yes!
To every dear command of Thine.
