Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 3 #168 (1918) First Line: My God, and Father, while I stray Lyrics: 1 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!”
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
“Thy will be done!”
2 What tho’ in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
“Thy will be done!”
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
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!”
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
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!”
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
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!”
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done!
I’ll sing upon a happier shore,
“Thy will be done!” Tune Title: [My God, and Father, while I stray]
Thy Will be Done!
