Verse 1
All-good, all-wise, almighty Lord,
Supreamly just and true,
I cast me on thy faithful Word,
And wait thy Will to do:
Thy Will concerning me reveal,
Thy Heavenly Light impart,
And speak by Signs infallible
The Answer to my Heart.

Verse 2
Thee, Lord, in all my Ways I own
My Counsellour and Guide,
I hang upon thine Arm alone,
And in thy Love confide;
Ah! do not then my Soul reject,
But all my Paths attend,
But all my Works and Thoughts direct
To thine Appointed End.

Verse 3
Thou readst th’ Unutterable Care
That labours in my Breast,
And knowst, till Thou thy Mind declare
I know not what is Best.
A Sinner doubly dark and blind,
A foolish, foolish Worm,
O how shall I the Secret find,
And all thy Will perform?

Verse 4
I would not my own Soul deceive,
My own Designs pursue,
I can no more an Heart believe
Which never, yet prov’d true.
Death in the Error of my Life
I would not fondly find;
Declare, O Lord, to end the Strife,
The Thing by Thee design’d.

Verse 5
For thy Determining Command
I at thy Footstool lie,
Intent to mark the Pointing Hand,
To catch the Guiding Eye:
To Thee with meek submissive Fear
Th’ Important Doubt I leave,
Till Thou in Heavenly Light appear,
Till Thou the Fiat give.

Verse 6
Jesus, thro’ thy or’epowering Grace
I every Wish resign,
Nor can I, till Thou shewst thy Face,
To this or that incline;
Thy Face conceal’d, thy Mind unknown,
Preserves the Balance even,
And makes me cry Thy Will be done
On Earth as tis in Heaven.
