Hymn/Song Information

NOT MY WILL BUT THINE




Author of good! to thee we turn:
Thine ever-wakeful eye
Alone can all our wants discern—
Thy hand alone supply.


Oh let thy love within us dwell,
Thy fear our footsteps guide;
That love shall vainer loves expel,
That fear all fears beside.


And since, by passion’s force subdued,
Too oft with stubborn will
We blindly shun the latent good,
And grasp the specious ill;—


Not what we wish, but what we want,
Let mercy still supply;
The good we ask not, Father, grant;
The ill we ask, deny.
