Have Thine Own Way

Lyrics by: Adelaide A. Pollard (1907)
Music by: George Charles Stebbins (1907)
Tune: ADELHEID · 9.8.9.8
Scripture: Psalm 143:10

Verse 1

Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter;
I am the clay.
Mold me and make me
After thy will,
While I am waiting,
Yielded and still.

Verse 2

Have thine own way,
Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me,
Master today!
Whiter than snow,
Lord, Wash me just now,
As in thy presence
Humbly I bow.

Verse 3

Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary,
Help me I pray!
Power, all power —
Surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me,
Saviour divine!

Verse 4

Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being
Absolute sway!
Fill with thy Spirit
Till all shall see
Christ only, always,
Living in me!
