This is touches me so much it is very deep .
To realise that all that happens to us we are blind but He sees . O choose your will Lord. Thy will indeed is mine whatever it is.
Mansfield, Ohio, United States
What a deep hymn about experiencing Christ in hard dark places of suffering. It seems the sister who wrote this may have suffered for a long period of time. Possibly she wrote this she was loosing her eyesight. She must have taken these hard times from the Lord as her portion. It seems she has been transformed through the things she suffered. She loves the Lord through it all. She proclaims. Thy will is mine what’re it be! This is the power of love through the working of the cross.

I'm humbled by what Brother/Sister KC shared before me.
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their soul-life even unto death." (Rev 12:10)
I desire to live a life that is joyfully submissive to Lord's will and that becomes the word of my testimony to the enemy -- "Lo, all things work for good to me."
Lord, make Your will mine.
Reading about transformation today I felt like I wanted to sing a hymn that said I wasn’t afraid so I looked up “I do not fear” and I found this hymn. I realize so many saints in years past experienced the Lord in his transforming work being submissive to his will. They may not have been able to articulate anything about transformation, but they were experiencing it in a deep and real way

As the man Jesus lined up His will with the Father’s will in his intense prayer at Gethsemane, may I be in line with the Father’s will to do it for His pleasure. Not in line with circumstances and situations that seem so big and unchanging, but only focused on doing the will of the Father in the midst of all of it! “Not as I will, but as you will” (Matt. 26:39)!
Tolland, Connecticut, United States
This hymn was written by Elta M. Lewis. Her biography remains obscure as there is no other information about her other than she lived in the 19C.
The composer of this tune is James Kirkpatrick (1828-1921). He was an American sacred music composer who published over eighty gospel song collections over a period of seventeen years. He composed for Fanny Crosby the tune to "He hideth my soul" If you find any information on Ms Lewis, please be sure to add a comment.
This hymn just reminds me that whatever it is that I go through in life, the Lord has it there for a reason unknown. We just need to take our portion from the Lord and accept "whate'er it be! whate'er it be!"
