Author: Dora Greenwell (1821-1882) Hymnal: The Hymnal #326 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know that at His right hand
Stands One who is my Saviour!
2 I take God at His word and deed:
“Christ died to save me”— this I read;
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Saviour!
3 And was there then no other way
For God to take?— I cannot say;
I only bless Him, day by day,
Who saved me through my Saviour.
4 That He should leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange?— so do not I,
Since I have known my Saviour!
4 And O that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour!
5 Yea, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring,
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Christ Passion, His; Inner Life, The Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR
