O LORD, my best desire fulfil,

And help me to resign

Life, health, and comfort to Thy will,

And make Thy pleasure mine.

Why should I shrink at Thy command,

Whose love forbids my fears?

Or tremble at the gracious hand

That wipes away my tears?

No, rather let me freely yield

What most I prize to Thee;

Who never hast a good withheld,

Or wilt withhold from me!
