Lyics

Father, O, hear me now!

Father divine!

Thou, only thou, canst see

The heart's deep agony:

Help me to say to thee

"Thy will, not mine!"



O God! be thou my stay,

In this dark hour;

Kindly each sorrow hear,

Hush every troubled fear,

Thee let me still revere,

Still own thy power.



In thee alone I trust,

Thou Holy One!

Humbly to thee I pray

That through each troubled day

Of life, I still may say,

"Thy will be done!
