My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!

Awhile back, I had mentioned our thrift store find of an old hymnal in which we have discovered many beautiful hymns that have been a blessing to us. Below is one that was especially so . . .

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt! 

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

O may Thy will be mine:

Into Thy hand of love

I would my all resign.

Thro' sorrow, or thro' joy,

Conduct me as Thine own;

And help me still to say,

My Lord, Thy will be done.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Tho' seen thro' many a tear,

Let not my star of hope

Grow dim or disappear.

Since Thou on earth has wept

And sorrowed oft alone,

If I must weep with Thee,

My Lord, Thy will be done.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

All shall be well for me;

Each changing future scene

I gladly trust with Thee.

Straight to my home above

I travel calmly on,

And sing, in life or death,

My Lord, Thy will be done.
