Submission
Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Resignation First Line: O Lord, my best desires fulfill Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my best desires fulfil,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to thy will,
And make thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at thy command
Whose love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No, let me rather freely yield
What most I prize to thee;
Who never hast a good withheld,
Or wilt withhold from me.
4 Thy favor, all my journey thro'
Thou art engag'd to grant;
What else i want, or think I do,
Tis better still to want.
5 Wisdom and mercy guide my way,
Shall I resist them both?
A poor blind creature of a day,
And crush'd before the moth!
6 But ah! my inward spirit cries,
Still bind me to thy sway;
Else the next cloud that veils my skies,
Drives all these thoughts away.

Submission
It is the Lord— let him do as seemeth him good
Author: T. Greene Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Resignation First Line: It is the Lord— enthron'd in light Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord — enthron'd in light,
Whose claims are all divine;
who has an undisputed right
To govern me and mine.
2 It is the Lord — should I distrust,
Or contradict his will?
Who cannot do but what is just,
And must be righteous still.
3 It is the Lord — who gives me all
My wealth, my friends, my ease;
And of his bounties may recall
Whatever part he please.
4 It is the Lord — who can sustain
Beneath the heaviest load,
From whom assistance I obtain
To tread the thorny road.
5 It is the Lord — whose matchless skill
Can from afflictions raise
Matter eternity to fill
With ever-growing praise.
6 It is the Lord — my cov'nant God,
Thrice blessed be his name!
Whose gracious promise, seal'd with blood,
Must ever be the same.
7 His cov'nant will my soul defend,
Should nature's self expire:
And the great judge of all descend
In awful flames of fire.
8 And can my soul with hopes like these,
Be sullen, or repine?
No, gracious God, take what thou please,
I'll cheerfully resign. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:18 Languages: English
It is the Lord— let him do as seemeth him good
My God, my Father, while I stray
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #64 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life’s rough way,
O teach me from my heart to say,
Thy will be done!
2 Though dark my path and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
Thy will be done!
3 What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh?
Submissive still would I reply,
Thy will be done!
4 If thou shouldst call me to resign
What most I prized,--it ne’er was mine;
I only yield Thee what is Thine;
Thy will be done!
5 Should grief or sickness waste away
My life in premature decay,
My Father, still I strive to say,
Thy will be done!
6 Let but my fainting heart be blest
With Thy good Spirit for its guest,
My God, to Thee I leave the rest;
Thy will be done!
7 Renew my will from day to day,
Blend it with Thine, and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
Thy will be done!
8 Then, when on earth I breathe no more
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,
I’ll sing upon a happier shore,
Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GABRIEL
My God, my Father, while I stray
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #86 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 Oh, spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 To Thee, as to our cov'nant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Languages: English
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Father of eternal grace
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #123 (1898) Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Father of eternal grace,
Glorify Thyself in me!
Meekly beaming in my face,
May the world Thine image see.
2 Happy only in Thy love,
Poor, unfriended, or unknown,
Fix my thoughts on things above;
Stay my heart on Thee alone.
3 Humble, holy, all resigned
To Thy will--Thy will be done!
Give me, Lord, the perfect mind
Of Thy well-beloved Son.
4 Counting gain and glory loss,
May I tread the path He trod,
Die with Jesus on the cross,
Rise with Him to Thee, my God! Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

Thou Lamb of God, Thou Prince of Peace

For Thee my thirsty soul doth pine;
My longing heart implores Thy grace;
O make me in Thy likeness shine!
2 With fraudless, even, humble mind,
Thy will in all things may I see;
In love be every wish resigned,
And hallowed my whole heart to Thee.
3 When pain o'er my weak flesh prevails,
With lamb-like patience arm my breast;
When grief my wounded soul assails,
In lowly meekness may I rest.
4 Close by Thy side still may I keep,
Howe'er life's various current flow;
With steadfast eye mark every step,
And follow Thee where'er Thou go.
5 Thou, Lord, the dreadful fight hast won;
Alone Thou hast the winepress trod;
In me Thy strengthening grace be shown;
O may I conquer through Thy blood!
6 So, when on Zion Thou shalt stand,
And all heaven's host adore their King,
Shall I be found at Thy right hand,
And free from pain Thy glories sing. Languages: English Tune Title: MASON
Thou Lamb of God, Thou Prince of Peace
