THIS IS MY WILL FOR THEE

Just to hear my dear Master say,
“This is My will for thee;”
Then to whisper the dark night through,
“This is His will for me.”

Just to keep in the narrow way,
Painful howe’er it be;
Just to follow Him day by day—
All shall be well with me.

Just to joyfully bear the pain,
All that He sendeth me;
Just to suffer the scorn and shame—
Trust where I cannot see.

Just to hear, when the day is long,
“This is My will for thee;”
Then shall my faith and love grow strong—
Knowing His will for me.

Oh, to hear, when the work is done,
“This is My will for thee—
Faith and Patience and Love have won—
Sit in my throne with Me!” G. W. S.
