My God and Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life's rough way
O teach me from my heart to say
"Thy will be done!"
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done!
What thought in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh
Submissive still would I reply
"Thy will be done!"
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done!"
Let but my fainting heart be blest
With Thy sweet Spirit for its guest
My God, to Thee I leave the rest
"Thy will be done!"
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
My God, to Thee I leave the rest, "Thy will be done!"
| |
Then when on earth I breathe no more
The prayer oft mixed with tears before
I'll sing upon a happier shore
"Thy will be done!"
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
I'll sing upon a happier shore, "Thy will be done!"
