What Thou Wilt.
Do what Thou wilt! Yes, only do
What seemeth good to Thee:
Thou art so loving, wise, and true,
It must be best for me.

Thou art so loving, wise, and true,

Send what Thou wilt; or beating shower,
Soft dew, or brilliant sun;
Alike in still or stormy hour,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
Soft dew, or brilliant sun;
Alike in still or stormy hour,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
Teach what Thou wilt; and make me learn
Each lesson full and sweet,
And deeper things of God discern
While sitting at Thy feet.
Each lesson full and sweet,
And deeper things of God discern
While sitting at Thy feet.
Say what Thou wilt; and let each word
My quick obedience win;
Let loyalty and love be stirred
To deeper glow within.
My quick obedience win;
Let loyalty and love be stirred
To deeper glow within.
Give what Thou wilt; for then I know
I shall be rich indeed;
My King rejoices to bestow
Supply for every need.

My King rejoices to bestow
Supply for every need.

Take what Thou wilt, belovèd Lord,
For I have all in Thee!
My own exceeding great reward,
Thou, Thou Thyself shalt be!
For I have all in Thee!
My own exceeding great reward,
Thou, Thou Thyself shalt be!
