My God and Father, while I stray // Far from my home in life’s rough way // Oh teach me from my heart to say // “Thy will be done!”

Though dark my path and sad my lot // Let me be still and murmur not // Or breathe the prayer divinely taught // “Thy will be done!”

If thou should call me to resign // What most I prize never was mine // I only yield thee what was thine // “Thy will be done!”

If but my fainting heart be blessed // With the Holy Spirit for its guest // My God, to thee I leave the rest // “Thy will be done!”

Renew my will from day to day // Blend it with thine and take away // All now that makes it hard to say // “Thy will be done!”

Then when on earth I breathe no more // The prayer oft mixed with tears before // I’ll sing upon that joyful shore // “Thy will be done!”
