Hymn 226 - Thy Will Be Done

My God and Father, while I stray

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

Oh, teach me from my heart to say, “Thy will be done!”

What though in lonely grief I sigh

For friends beloved, no longer nigh,

Submissive still would I reply, “Thy will be done!”

Let but my fainting heart be blest

With Thy sweet 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 a happier shore, “Thy will be done!”

REFRAIN

Thy will be done! Thy will be done!

Oh, teach me from my heart to say, “Thy will be done!”
