<p>My God, my Father, while I stray<br>
Far from my home, on life&#8217;s rough way,<br>
O teach me from my heart to say,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Though dark my path, and sad my lot,<br>
Let me be still and murmur not,<br>
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>What though in lonely grief I sigh<br>
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,<br>
Submissive still would I reply,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>If Thou shoulds&#8217;t call me to resign<br>
What most I prize, it ne&#8217;er was mine:<br>
I only yield Thee what is Thine;<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Should pining sickness waste away<br>
My life in premature decay,<br>
My Father still I strive to say,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Let but my fainting heart be blest<br>
With Thy sweet Spirit for its Guest,<br>
My God, to Thee I leave the rest;<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Renew my will from day to day;<br>
Blend it with Thine, and take away<br>
All that now makes it hard to say,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, when on earth I breathe no more<br>
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,<br>
I&#8217;ll sing upon a happier shore,<br>
&#8220;Thy will be done!&#8221;</p>
