Hymn

I worship Thee, sweet will of God

Frederick William Faber

I worship thee, sweet Will of God,

And all thy ways adore;

And every day I live, I seem

To love thee more and more.

I love to see thee bring to naught

The plans of wily men;

Where simple hearts outwit the wise,

Oh, thou art loveliest then.

I love to kiss each print where thou

Hast set thine unseen feet;

I cannot fear thee, blessed Will!

Thine empire is so sweet.

Ride on, ride on, triumphantly,

Thou glorious Will! ride on;

Faith's pilgrim sons, behind thee, take

The road that thou hast won.
