The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#451

451. O that in me the mind of Christ

1 O that in me the mind of Christ
A fixed abiding-place may find,
That I may know the will of God,
And live in him for lost mankind.

Refrain:
Doing the will of God,
Doing the will of God,
The best thing I know in this world below
Is doing the will of God.

2 The suffering servant he became,
Yea mare; in loneliness and lass
He bare for me in grief and shame,
A crown of thorns, a heavy cross.

3 O that in me this mind might be,
The will of Gad be all my joy,
Prepared with him to go or stay,
My chief delight his sweet employ.

4 More than all else I would became
The servant of my servant-Lord;
My highest glory his reproach,
To do his will my best reward.
