The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#744

744. My God, my Father, make me strong

1 My God, my Father, make me strong,
When tasks of life seem hard and long,
To greet them with this triumph-song:
Thy will be done.

2 Draw from my timid eyes the veil,
To show, where earthly forces fail,
Thy power and love must still prevail,
Thy will be done.

3 With confident and humble mind,
Freedom in service I would find,
Praying through every toil assigned,
Thy will be done.

4 Things deemed impossible I dare,
Thine is the call and thine the care;
Thy wisdom shall the way prepare,
Thy will be done.

5 All power is here and round me now,
Faithful I stand in rule and vow,
While ‘tis not I, but ever thou:
Thy will be done.

6 Heaven’s music chimes the glad days in,
Hope soars beyond death, pain and sin,
Faith shouts in triumph, love must win,
Thy will be done.
