LyicsHow sweet to be allowed to pray
To God, the Holy One,
With filial love and trust to say,
O God, thy will be done.
We in these sacred words can find
A cure for every ill,
They calm and soothe the troubled mind,
And bid all care be still.
O let that will, which gave me breath,
And an immortal soul,
In joy or grief, in life or death,
My every wish control.
O could my heart thus ever pray,
Thus imitate thy Son!
Teach me O God, with truth to say,
"Thy will, not mine, be done."
