My Stubborn Will at Last Has Yielded (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.
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.
Thy precious will, O conquering Saviour,
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird, set free.
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.
Shut in with thee, O Lord, forever,
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from thee my soul can sever?
The centre of God’s will my home.
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.
