[Lord, I Thy charge obey]
They kept the charge of the Lord.
—ix. 23.
Lord, I Thy charge obey
Who bidd'st my soul be still,
Whose cloud doth on my body stay,
And stops my acting zeal:
But while withheld I am
From labouring in Thy cause,
Thou bidd'st me suffer for Thy name,
And glory in Thy cross.
Who bidd'st my soul be still,
Whose cloud doth on my body stay,
And stops my acting zeal:
But while withheld I am
From labouring in Thy cause,
Thou bidd'st me suffer for Thy name,
And glory in Thy cross.
Whate'er my God ordain,
Contented and resign'd,
I wait, I watch, in ease, in pain,
The tokens of Thy mind;
To labour on for Thee,
If Thou appoint, I come;
Or let the cloud remain on me,
And sink me to the tomb.
Contented and resign'd,
I wait, I watch, in ease, in pain,
The tokens of Thy mind;
69
If Thou appoint, I come;
Or let the cloud remain on me,
And sink me to the tomb.
