Hymn 751  

SUBJECT: VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE INNER LIFE—THE DIVINE WAY
METER: 6.5.6.5.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Miss Davis

1 It is not by struggling,
   But by yielding all,
  I may rest from labor,
   All my burden fall.
  It is not resolving,
   But Thyself to heed,
  I’m from sin delivered
   And from bondage freed.
2 It is not by letter,
   But by Spirit ‘tis,
  I will be approved,
   Share Thy life of bliss.
  It is not man’s teaching,
   But anointing Thine,
  Which imparts Thy light and
   Fellowship divine.
3 It is not resolving
   Now to run the race,
  But ‘tis by Thy mercy
   I receive Thy grace.
  It is not by knowledge,
   But by grace alone,
  I can pass thru suff’ring
   To Thine image grown.
4 Not by lofty phrases,
   But by power Thine,
  I the lost can pilot
   Unto life divine.
  It is not my wisdom,
   But Thy Spirit, Lord,
  Which alone can fit me
   To fulfill Thy Word.
