[What is the pleasure of my Lord?]

We pray...that our God would...fulfil all, &c. —i. 11.

What is the pleasure of my Lord?
What is His will concerning me?
That I in holiness restored,
And pure in heart, my God should see;
Changed by the power of faith Divine,
Should put, with Christ, His image on,
And glorious as my Maker shine,
And dying shout—“The work is done!”
Father, behold, I calmly wait
Thine acceptable will to prove,
Raised to my first unsinning state,
In perfect righteousness and love:
Thou shalt in that appointed hour
Appear, my spotless soul to seal,
And by Thine hallowing Spirit's power
The work of faith in me fulfil.
