Lord, We Thy Will Obey

Lord, we thy will obey,
And in thy pleasure rest;

Lord, we thy will obey,
And in thy pleasure rest;
We, only we, can say,
“Whatever is, is best;”
Joyful to meet, willing to part,
Convinced we still are one in heart.

Hereby we sweetly know
Our love proceeds from thee,
We let each other go,
From every creature free;
And cry, in answer to thy call,
“Thou art, O Christ, our all in all!”

Our Husband, Brother, Friend,
Our Counsellor divine!
Thy chosen ones depend
On no support but thine:
Our everlasting Comforter!
We cannot want, if thou art here.

Still let us, gracious Lord,
Sit loose to all below;
And to thy love restored,
No other portion know;
Stand fast in glorious liberty,
And live and die wrapped up in thee!
