Thy Will Be Done - Thomas á Kempis Series - 3

Tune: Sandys

(\'Teach me, my God and King\')

********

Most kind Jesus, grant me

Your grace, may I it see

Dwelling and working in me sure

Abiding evermore

 

Grant me always to will

What will best please you still

And to desire what you desire

Stir in me, holy fire

 

May it acceptable

Be unto you, I call

Unto you, pray your will be mine

True whole and true divine

 

Let my will here follow

Your will, conform, and know

Your plans, purposes, what you choose

My self deny and lose

 

Grant I the world not know

Its will, its ways and show

But to die to all worldly things

My heart to you sole sings

 

For your sake may I be

Despised, unknown here, see

And love such state, humility

From worldly passions free

 

Grant me to rest in you

You refresh me anew

You the heart\'s true peace, comforted

My life in you is hid

 

Outside of you, restless

Hard all is, profitless

In you who give true peace I rest

I dwell, am endless blessed
