Jesus, let our inmost powers
All be subject to thy sway;
Thine it is to give command,
Ours the duty to obey:
May we then submissive prove,
Yield the tribute of our love.
Selfish passions all subside,
Murmuring thoughts no more arise;
Jesus’ counsels, though concealed,
All are holy, just and wise:
may we then submissive prove,
Yield to him the fruits of love.
If he frown or if he smile,
He his settled plan pursues;
Mercy is his end and aim,
None can justly him accuse:
May we then submissive prove,
Own the sceptre of his love.
