LyicsMy Jesus, as thou wilt!
Oh, may thy will be mine!
Into thy hand of love,
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
Conduct me as thine own,
And help me still to say,
May Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me thy people's bread,
Their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy word,
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail--
My Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If among thorns I go,
Still sometimes here and there
Let a few roses blow.
But thou, on earth, along
The thorny path hast gone;
Then lead me after thee;
My Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with thee,
My Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If loved ones must depart,
Suffer not sorrow's flood
To overwhelm my heart;
For they are blest with thee,
Thy race and conflict won;
Let me but follow them;
My Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on thee, to go
Where thou before hast gone;
The rest as thou shalt please;
My Lord, thy will be done!
