Resignation.
If Thou who seest this heart of mine To earthly idols prone, Should'st all those clinging cords untwine, And take again Thy own,-- Help me to lay my hands in thine, And say Thy will be done! But Oh, when Thou dost claim the gift Which Thou did'st only lend, And leav'st my life of love bereft, And lonely to the end,-- Oh Saviour! be Thyself but left, My best beloved Friend! And still the chastening hand I bless, Which doth my steps uphold Along earth's thorny wilderness, Back to the Father's fold, Where I Thy face in righteousness Shall evermore behold.
