2 Only thy restless heart keep still
And wait in cheerful hope content
To take whate'er His gracious will, His all discerning love hath sent:
Doubt not our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for his own.
Geo. Neumarck.

2 I dare not choose my lot;
I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright.
3 The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray.
4 Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill, |
As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill.
5 Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness, or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth.
6 Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great, or small; Be Thou my guide, my strength, My wisdom, and my all.
Rev. Horatius Bun ar, 1857 |
