1. I am not sent a pilgrim here,
My heart with earth to fill;
But I am here God’s grace to know,
And do God’s sov’reign will.
Chorus:
To do God’s blessed will,
With joy, thro’ good or ill;
Show forth His praise thro’ all my days,
I’ll do God’s blessed will.
2. He leads me on thro’ smiles and tears:
Grief follows gladness still;
But let me welcome both alike,
Since both work out His will.
3. The strong man’s strength to toil for Christ,
The fervent preacher’s skill
I sometimes wish: but better far,
To be just what God will.
4. I know not how this trusting heart,
May life’s vast ends fulfill,
He knows; and that life is not lost
That answers best His will.
5. No service in itself is small,
Nor great, though earth it fill;
But that is small that seeks its own,
And great that seeks God’s will.
6. Then hold my hand, most gracious Lord,
Guide all my doings still;
And let this be my life’s one aim,
To do, or bear Thy will.
