A poem by Frances Ridley Havergal

What Thou Wilt

________________________________________________
Title:     What Thou Wilt
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal [More Titles by Havergal]

Do what Thou wilt! Yes, only do
What seemeth good to Thee:
Thou art so loving, wise, and true,
It must be best for me.

Send what Thou wilt; or beating shower,
Soft dew, or brilliant sun;
Alike in still or stormy hour,
My Lord, Thy will be done.

Teach what Thou wilt; and make me learn
Each lesson full and sweet,
And deeper things of God discern
While sitting at Thy feet.

Say what Thou wilt; and let each word
My quick obedience win;
Let loyalty and love be stirred
To deeper glow within.

Give what Thou wilt; for then I know
I shall be rich indeed;
My King rejoices to bestow
Supply for every need.

Take what Thou wilt, beloved Lord,
For I have all in Thee!
My own exceeding great reward,
Thou, Thou Thyself shall be!
