Verse 1
My God, my Father! while I stray
Far from my home in lifeâs rough way,
Oh! teach me from my heart to say,
Thy will be done!
Verse 2
Though dark my path, and sad my lot,
Let me âbe still,â and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
Thy will be done!
Verse 3
But if my fainting heart be blessed
With the Holy Spirit for its guest,
My God! to Thee I leave the rest--
Thy will be done!
Verse 4
If Thou should call me to resign
What most I prize, never was mine;
I only yield Thee what is Thine;
Thy will be done! (x2)
