LyicsFATHER, I know thy ways are just,
Although to me unknown;
O grant me grace thy love to trust,
And cry, "Thy will be done!"
If thou shouldst hedge with thorns my path,
Should wealth and friends be gone,
Still, with a firm and lively faith,
I'll cry, "Thy will be done!"
Although thy steps I can not trace,
Thy sovereign right I'll own;
And, as instructed by thy grace,
I'll cry, "Thy will be done!"
