Lyics

FATHER, 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 sov'reign right I'll own;

And, as instructed by Thy grace,

I'll cry, "Thy will be done!"
