I want to leave my choice and will
In Him whose choice and will are best,
Through grace, re¤signed, sub¤mis¤sive still,
His choice and ¤will– my soul’s sure rest.

I must de¤crease, all self must cease,
That Christ may now be formed in me
And man¤i¤fest, His life and peace,
His ho¤li¤¤ness and pu¤ri¤ty.

In all things heark¤’ning to His voice,
His choice shall be the bet¤ter part,
His lov¤ing coun¤sel shall re¤joice
My will¤ing ¤and o¤be¤di¤ent heart.
