Acts 21:14: We ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

When to the counsel of our Lord
Our unreserved consent we yield,
Comfort and peace we find restored,
And rest in that which He hath will'd:
Whate'er distress our friends befalls,
If Christ lets loose the adverse power,
And arms whom He to suffering calls,
His will be done, we ask no more.
