Sheet music

  1. 1My stubborn will at last hath yielded;I would be Thine and Thine alone;And this the prayer my lips are bringing,“Lord, let in me Thy will be done.”Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee;Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
  2. 2I’m tired of sin, footsore and weary;The darksome path hath dreary grown;But now a light has ris’n to cheer me:I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee;Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
  3. 3Thy precious will, O conqu’ring Savior,Doth now embrace and compass me;All discords hushed, my peace a river,My soul, a prisoned bird set free.Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee;Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
  4. 4Shut in with Thee, O Lord, forever,My wayward feet no more to roam;What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?The center of God’s will my home.Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee;Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
