Not by wrestling, but by clinging

J. H. Stuart

4 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

Not by wrestling, but by clinging Shall we be most blest; Wrestling only brings us sorrow; Clinging brings us rest.

Verse 2

When we stay our feeble efforts, And from struggling cease, Unconditional surrender Bring us God's own peace.

Verse 3

Lean we all our weight on Jesus, Who alone can save; He by might of love hath triumphed O'er His willing slave.

Verse 4

Yielding, we shall know true conquest; Dying, we shall live; " Not my will, but Thine' prevaileth, Victory to give.
