Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century hymn by F. W. Faber expressing joyful surrender to God's will and confident trust in Christ's victory. It calls believers to follow as 'faith's pilgrim sons' in the triumphant way Christ has already gone.
Verse 1
I bow me to Thy will, O God,
And all Thy ways adore,
And every day I live I'd seek
To please Thee more and more.
Verse 2
Why should I care, O blessed Lord?
Since all my cares are Thine;
Why not in triumph live, since Thou
Hast made Thy triumphs mine?
Verse 3
Lead on, lead on triumphantly,
O blessed Lord! Lead on;
Faith's pilgrim sons behind Thee seek
The road that Thou hast gone.
Verse 4
He always wins who sides with God,
To him no chance is lost;
God's will is sweetest to him when
It triumphs at his cost.
Verse 5
Ill that God blesses is our good,
And unblest good is ill;
And all is right that seems most wrong,
If it be His sweet will.
