My Jesus, As Thou Wilt | by Benjamin Schmolck, translated by Jane Borthwick

Hi, when Jesus redeems us from Satan's cruel grasp, we are free, but we belong to Jesus. Therefore, what Jesus wills we will do. Whether it's to give our last piece of bread to help those who are hungry, to speak before someone of our faith in Christ, or to die for our faith. Whatever it is, we will be doing Jesus' will, so we should do in gladly. Look at the lives of the Apostles, they obeyed the will of Jesus no matter what the cost. We should do the same.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt was written by Benjamin Schmolck in 1704 and then translated by Jane Borthwick in 1854. Here are the lyrics:

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or thro' joy,
Conduct me as Thine own;
And help me still to say,
"My Lord, Thy will be done."

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Tho' seen thro' many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear.
Since Thou on earth hast wept
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, Thy will be done."
