Not by wrestling, but by clinging
|
|
| 1. | Not by wrestling, but by clinging |
| | Shall we be most blest; |
| | Wrestling only brings us sorrow; |
| | Clinging brings us rest. |
| 2. | When we stay our feeble efforts, |
| | And from struggling cease, |
| | Unconditional surrender |
| | Bring us God's own peace. |
| 3. | Lean we all our weight on Jesus, |
| | Who alone can save; |
| | He by might of love hath triumphed |
| | O'er His willing slave. |
| 4. | Yeilding, we shall know true conquest; |
| | Dying, we shall live; |
| | "Not my will, but Thine' prevaileth, |
| | Victory to give. |
