Poems - The Will of the Lord Be Done

“The Will of the Lord Be Done”

The following poem has been adapted as To the Foe My Word Is Always “No” .

Verse 1
“No!” to the will of the devil,
“Yes!” to the will of the Lord,
So Lord Thy purpose shall triumph,
Through Thine omnipotent Word.
With Thine authority clothe me,
Now, as I stand in Thy will,
With Thine own Spirit empower me
All Thine own plan to fulfil,

Verse 2
“No!” to the will of the devil,
“Yes!” to the will of the Lord.
This be my attitude always,
Saviour, protection afford,
Lest, as I move at Thy bidding,
Satan should close up the way,
Stand with me, Blessed Lord Jesus,
As I Thy precepts obey.

Verse 3
“No!” to the will of the devil,
“Yes!” to the will of the Lord.
Over the mountains so rugged,
Over the seas at Thy Word,
Naught shall deter or molest me,
If, Blessed Lord, Thou will be
Saviour, Defender, and Keeper,
As I go onward with Thee.
