Lyics

1 MY God and Father, while I stray,

Far from my home, on life's rough way,

O teach me from my heart to say,

"Thy will be done."



2 Tho' dark my path, and sad my lot,

Let me be still, and murmur not,

But breathe the pray'r divinely taught,

"Thy will be done."



3 What though in lonely grief I sigh

For friends belov'd, no longer nigh,

Submissive still would I reply,

"Thy will be done."



4 If Thou shouldst call me to resign

What most I prize, it ne'er was mine;

I only yield Thee what was Thine:

"Thy will be done." Amen.
