By whom Thou wilt thy pleasure show

Verse 1
By whom Thou wilt thy pleasure show
Where’er Thou sendest me, I go,
After my Leader move:
Alone, my way I would not find,
But walk in all the works design’d
To exercise my love.

Verse 2
Made free, and willing to obey,
Wilt Thou not, gracious Lord, display
Thy whole design to me?
Thy mind immediately reveal,
Or by thy chosen servants tell,
I gladly follow Thee.
