I will not trust in ¤aught of self,
My heart and flesh will ¤sure¤ly fail,
Wait thou, my soul, on ¤God a¤lone,
I know He must, He will pre¤vail.

Let pa¤tience have her ¤per¤fect work,
Keep low¤ly, hum¤ble, ¤faith¤ful, true,
With qui¤et con¤fi¤¤dence in God,
Whose will a¤lone you long to do.

Per¤fect, en¤tire and ¤want¤ing nought,
Your soul shall dwell and ¤rest at ease,
Com¤mit thy way, your ¤cause to Him,
Whom you a¤lone de¤sire to please.

Let pa¤tience have her ¤per¤fect work,
Root out self will, a¤¤base your pride,
The King your beau¤ty ¤will de¤sire
When all self seek¤ing is de¤nied.

An emp¤ty ves¤sel ¤now made meet
The Mas¤ter’s pleas¤ure ¤to ful¤fill,
High hon¤oured, thus to ¤serve and wait,
Ac¤cord¤ing to His gra¤cious will.

Let pa¤tience have her ¤per¤fect work,
That per¤fect¤ed you ¤now may stand,
No choice, no will, an ¤in¤stru¤ment
In God the Fa¤ther’s might¤y hand.

A vir¤tuous soul, oh, ¤who can find,
Where self is tru¤ly ¤cru¤ci¤fied?
Price¤less they are; Christ ¤seek¤eth such
To be His cho¤sen, Ho¤ly Bride.
