Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #630 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Submissive Resignation Lyrics: 1 O Lord! my best desire fulfill,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to thy will,
And make thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at thy command,
Whose love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No, rather let me freely yield
What most I prize, to thee,
Who never hast a good withheld,
Or wilt withhold from me.
4 Thy favor, all my journey through,
Shall be my rich supply;
What else I want, or think I do,
Let wisdom still deny.
Scripture: Matthew 26:39-42
O Lord! my best desire fulfill
