16137. Thy Will, Not Mine

1 Thy will, not mine, O Lord,
In all things I would see;
Thine own in bo­dy, spi­rit, soul,
I would for­ev­er be.

2 Thy will, I now re­sign
My all in­to Thy hands;
My as­pi­ra­tions, hopes, de­sires,
Ambitions, dreams and plans.

3 My will, O let it lie
All bur­ied deep in Thine,
That dai­ly, hour­ly, I shall seek
Thy heart’s de­sires, not mine.

4 Thy will, not mine, O Lord,
Be then my con­stant prayer;
So be­ing all ab­sorbed by Thee,
I shall Thy glo­ry share.
