Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Choice Hymns of the Faith #325 (1944) First Line: My God, my Father, while I stray Refrain First Line: Thy will be done Lyrics: 1 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!”
Refrain:
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!” [Refrain]
3 Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine; and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
“Thy will be done!” [Refrain]
4 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]
