The time I to Thy wisdom leave

Verse 1
The time I to thy wisdom leave;
When, as, thou wilt the blessing give,
The full felicity!
But give me now to seek aright,
And taste the blissful calm delight
Of waiting, Lord, for thee.

Verse 2
Happy I am my wants to feel,
To mourn for joy unspeakable,
To thirst for God alone;
For O, the perfect love and peace,
The true eternal righteousness
With thee is all my own.
