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 pow'r.



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!"
