Hymn 718: My God, my Father, while I stray

My God, my 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 ! "

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

2. What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh, Submissive still would I reply, " Thy will be done ! "

3. 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 ! "

4. 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 ! "

5. 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 ! "
