As Thou Wilt

Author: B. Schmolke Appears in 616 hymnals First Line: My Jesus, as thou wilt Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt: O may thy will be mine! Into thy hand of love I would, my all resign. Thro' sorrow or thro' joy, Conduct me as thine own, And help me still to say, "My Lord, thy will be done." 2 My Jesus, as thou wilt: Tho' seen thro' many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with thee, "My Lord, thy will be done." 3 My Jesus, as thou wilt: All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above, I travel calmly on, And sing in life or death, "My Lord, thy will be done." Topics: Living His Life Consecration Used With Tune: JEWETT

How Can I Keep From Singing?

Author: Anon. Appears in 145 hymnals First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Amid earth's lamentation, I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn That hails a new creation; Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul, How can I keep from singing? 2 What tho' my joys and comforts die, The Lord my Helper liveth! What tho' the darkness gather round; Songs in the night he giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since God is Lord of heav'n and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths Since first I learned to love it. The peace of God makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine, since I am His How can I keep from singing?

Whose hand a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be pray'r and praise: His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flow'rs of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime!
