When ¤all my way is ¤dark and drear,
I ¤rest in ¤this– my ¤Lord is near,
And ¤He will lead me on,
He is my ¤source of ¤life and bliss,
My robe and crown of ¤right¤eous¤ness,
When ¤all this life is gone.

Chorus:
My high¤est ¤choice God’s ¤Ho¤ly Will,
O Lord, sub¤due and ¤keep me still,
O¤¤be¤dient to Thy Voice.

I ¤need to seek His ¤face in prayer,
This ¤is my ¤strength, my ¤na¤tive air,
It ¤is my vi¤tal breath.
He will re¤¤store my ¤faint¤ing soul,
For¤give and cleanse and ¤make me whole,
De¤¤liv¤er me from death.

Af¤¤flic¤tions now may ¤be my lot,
I ¤will hold ¤fast and ¤wa¤ver not,
And ¤love the chast¤’ning rod,
God’s word is ¤pure– He ¤can¤not lie–
My Sav¤iour pleads for ¤me on high,
He ¤in¤ter¤cedes with God.

I ¤will sub¤mit to ¤all His will,
Sub¤¤dued and ¤meek, re¤¤signed and still,
His ¤will my high¤est choice.
He un¤der¤¤stands the ¤way I take,
I know He nev¤er ¤will for¤sake,
In ¤this I now re¤joice.

In ¤God’s own Word, the ¤truth we’re told,
The ¤fur¤nace ¤fire must ¤try the gold
And ¤purge a¤way the dross.
He un¤der¤¤stands the ¤way I take,
I know He nev¤er ¤will for¤sake,
I ¤shall not suf¤fer loss.
