619. C. M. Cowper. Resignation and Trust. 1 O Lord, my best desire fulfil, 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 thy gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No! let me rather freely yield What most I prize, to thee; Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold from me. 4 But ah! my inmost spirit cries, Still bind me to thy sway; Else the next cloud that veils the skies, Drives all these thoughts away.
