It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch’s throne, it must its crown resign; It only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.
