Text:Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way!
Author:Adelaide Addison Pollard, 1862-1934
Tune:ADELAIDE
Composer:George Cole Stebbins, 1846-1945

521. Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way!

1 Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay!
Mold me and make me after thy will,
while I am waiting, yielded and still.

2 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Purer than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.

3 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power all power surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine!

4 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway!
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!
