  1. My God and Father, / while I stray
    Far from my home, on/ life’s rough way,
    Oh teach me from my /heart to say,
    Thy will be done.

  2. Though dark my path/ and sad my lot,
    Let me “be still,” and/ murmur not,
    Or breathe the prayer di/vinely taught,
    Thy will be done.

  3. What though in lonely /grief I sigh,
    For friends beloved no/ longer nigh,
    Submissive still/ would I reply,
    Thy will be done.

  4. If Thou should’st call/ me to resign
    What most I prize, it /ne’er was mine;
    I only yield Thee/ what was Thine;
    Thy will be done.

  5. If 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.

  6. Renew my will from /day to day,
    Blend it with Thine, /and take away
    All now that makes it/ hard to say,
    Thy will be done.

  7. Then when on earth I/ breathe no more
    The prayer oft mix’d with/ tears before,
    I’ll sing upon a/ happier shore,
    Thy will be done. Amen.
