1. I AM a little weary of my life -- / Not thy life, blessed Father! Or the blood / Too slowly laves the coral shores of thought, / Or I am weary of weariness and strife. / Open my soul-gates to thy living flood; / I ask not larger heart-throbs, vigour-fraught, / I pray thy presence, with strong patience rife.
2. I will what thou will'st -- only keep me sure / That thou art willing; call to me now and then. / So, ceasing to enjoy, I shall endure / With perfect patience -- willing beyond my ken / Beyond my love, beyond my thinking scope; / Willing to be because thy will is pure; / Willing thy will beyond all bounds of hope.
