Religion

As Thou Wilt

by Benjamin Copeland 1855–1940

From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)

Religion

Give what Thou wilt,
And what Thou wilt, withold;
Only, O Lord, bestow
Thy mercy manifold.

Give what Thou wilt,
And what Thou wilt, recall;
Thou still art ours, O God,
And Thou art all in all.

Rich in Thy gifts,
But richer in Thy grace,
What bliss, what glory, ours,
When we behold Thy face!
