his holy will abideth;
I will be still whate'er he doth,
and follow where he guideth.
He is my God: though dark my road,
he holds me that I shall not fall:
wherefore to him I leave it all.
2 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
he never will deceive me;
he leads me by the proper path;
I know he will not leave me.
I take, content, what he hath sent;
his hand can turn my griefs away,
and patiently I wait his day.
3 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
though now this cup, in drinking,
may bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking.
My God is true; each morn anew
sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
and pain and sorrow shall depart.
4 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
here shall my stand be taken;
though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
yet am I not forsaken.
My Father's care is round me there;
he holds me that I shall not fall:
and so to him I leave it all.

Till toils and cares shall end.

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven. Scripture: Psalm 137:5 Used With Tune: STATE STREET

Thy glory I might know:
Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for thee?

More than my tongue can tell
Of bitt'rest agony,
To rescue me from hell;
Thou suff'redst all for me;
What have I borne for thee?

Down from thy home above
Salvation full and free,
Thy pardon and thy love;
Great gifts thou broughtest me;
What have I brought to thee?

My years for thee be spent;
World-fetters all be riven
And joy with suff'ring blent:
Thou gav'st thyself for me,
I give myself to thee.

Zeal

The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away!
It is not thus that souls are won.
2 Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb:
Take up the torch and wave it wide
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
3 Toil on, faint not; keep watch and pray!
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway;
Compel the wanderer to come in.
4 Go, labor on: your hands are weak;
Your knees are faint, your soul cast down;
Yet falter not, the prize you seek
Is near, a kingdom and a crown! Used With Tune: DARLEY
