By A Collection of Hymns

      4-6s & 2-8s.
      1 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.

      2 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!"

      3 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.

      4 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!
