SUBMISSION
1. The path that I
have trod,
Has bro't me nearer
God,
Tho' oft it led
thro' sorrow's gates.
Tho' not the way
I'd choose,
In my way I might
lose
The joy that yet
for me awaits.
Refrain
Not what I wish to be,
Nor where I wish to
go,
For who am I that I
should choose my way?
The Lord shall
choose for me,
'Tis better far, I
know,
So let Him bid me
go, or stay.
2. The cross that I
must bear,
If I a crown would
wear,
Is not the cross
that I should take;
But, since on me
'tis laid,
I'll take it,
unafraid,
And bear it for the
Master's sake.
3. Submission to
the will
Of Him who guides
me still
Is surety of His
love revealed:
My soul shall rise
above
This world in which
I move;
I conquer only
where I yield.
